Daily Delights

Making note of one thing every day that brings me delight. I try to keep it daily at least but I forget a lot. Honeybee, they/it. 28, ace Free Palestine

Today’s delight is waking up early just to catch the sunrise and getting lucky enough to see a real good one.

Today’s delight is having a place I can walk right outside. After living in shit-ass apartments for so long where if I wanted nature I had to drive, it is so so lovely to step out of my dead-end street and have grass. Trees even! And I can see the mountains in the distance.

I remember walking by someone’s yard once that had a bucket of free dirt out front and having the irresistible urge to just stick my hands into it (which I did). Because it had been so long singe I got to just. Touch some dirt casually.

Helping my grandma garden and gleefully digging in with no gloves. I was so starved for the earth.

Now I can stand barefoot in my back yard and feel it! And it feels fucking great btw.

Much delight in my life lately. A quick rundown of little moments during the week I took off for my anniversary:

*learning we could see Jupiter from our backyard.

*putting glow in the dark stars up on our bedroom ceiling.

*my wife and I giving each other tattoos to celebrate 13 years together.

*the way Zilly has warmed up to her outdoor bed and likes to hang out with us on the porch. She’s so reluctant to go inside it’s so cute.

*finding new ways to blaspheme by referring to hitting the bong as church service.

*the flock of cedar waxwings on the tree outside our bedroom.

*drawing on that rainbow scratch paper they used to give us to play around with in like elementary school lol.

*finding time to write on the back porch in the sun.

*going on a bike ride together and re-learning how to ride after not being able to have a bike for almost a decade.

*can’t stress enough how much time I’ve been spending outside and it’s been so so nice.

*drinking soda on the back porch. Drawing. Listening to music. Just Hanging Out with the dog and the wife.

*meeting a neighbor cuz Zilly thought their kid was some kind of animal and the toddler ran over to our fence because ooh doggy lol.

*making egg sandwiches with my new favorite bagels from a local bakery (shipped to our local grocery store).

*then seeing one of the bakeries delivery vans in real life and pointing to it like it’s a celebrity.

Today’s delight was hearing coyotes, an owl, and then watching a skunk for a bit :) what a beautiful night!

Today’s delight is random strangers asking if me and my dog were okay after an unattended dog ran up to us. I gave them a thumbs up instead of yelling across the street that I was more worried for this seemingly friendly and young looking pitbull than us, because my 80lbs gsd/malinous mix doesnt get along with other dogs lol. Luckily no one was hurt and it scampered after she made it clear she didn’t appreciate it running up to us.

On a side note, I’m very glad I can keep a handle on her lol. She may be big and strong but I’m bigger and stronger XD

It’s nice to have nice strangers out there!

Today’s delight is the kindness of a coworker. He brought in an expensive controller from home so I could test if it worked with my system. It didn’t, so that saved me like $60 lol
