Word Up #13: DELIGHT

DELIGHT:  1: a high degree of gratification : joy; also : extreme satisfaction2: something that gives great pleasure <her performance was a delight>3archaic : the power of affording pleasure

i've been craving delight so much lately...it seems like ever since school started in september i've just been going through the motions, rushing from one thing to the next, flying through my day with my "to do" list still full and nothing checked off...and let me tell you...it is starting to get to me...i need some delight in my everyday.

and i got to thinking...just because i lead a busy life, rushed and stressed, overwhelmed and harried, that does not mean that i can not delight in my everyday.   i need to shift my focus...i need to consciously choose DELIGHT...it is there for my taking

a wise friend of mine recently shared a quote with me...
"This is the beginning of a new day...You have been given this day to use as you will...You can waste it or use it for good...What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day in your life for it...When tomorrow comes this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind...let it be something good." - Amby Nic Montage

i love those words...i needed to be reminded of that...

so, i'm going to turn over a new leaf...i'm going to strive to consciously choose DELIGHT...anyone want to join me? :)

i hope you will...and we can't wait to see what you create :)  remember you have until Friday, November 9th to link us up to your delightful creation!! 

OH! & Holy Moly did you see who is sponsoring this week?  We got to play with some awesome stuff from Fontwerks including these stamps, Blox Alpha, Crown, & Clear Ticking, awesome paper by Kate Teague & Nisa Fiin,  easy to use rub-ons, & these incredible cardstock stickers.   And Wait, it gets better!  Because Fontwerks has offered up not one but two alphabet stamps for you, Alphablox & Orange Whip, plus two sheets of Rub-ons.

'Verukkelijk' is one of my favorite Dutch words. It's a word full of joy and it sounds great! So I've decided to do this OLW in Dutch. Life is delightful is the titel. And that was, what we were thinking when we took these pictures.
