The theme this month is DELIGHT. What a wonderful theme as summer hits and we are surrounded by natural delights. I hope that some of you have some extra time in the next few months to seek out and pay attention to delight.
I feel pretty lucky to have a delight detective in my house right now. Gili, who is almost 16 months old, manages to take delight in so many things, from flowers ("lilas!" - see picture), to the neighborhood cats, to toes, peekaboo, and bubbles (just to name a few). She manages to notice so many things that I take for granted and then to experience delight with every cell of her body.
