Tiny Delights Are Not Tiny
Happy Sunday, joy rebels. ✨
Today I want to talk about tiny delights.
Ross Gay, in The Book of Delights, spent a year noticing and writing about ordinary moments of delight:
a tomato seedling on an airplane,
flowers pushing through sidewalk cracks,
a small nod of connection,
the everyday wonders we usually bulldoze past on our way to “being productive.”
His work reminds us that delight is not denial.
It is attention.
It is the nervous system whispering, “Hey. There is still beauty here.”
And that feels like a very Sunday thing to practice.
Noticing delight does not mean life is perfect.
It means we are awake enough to catch the sparkle when it shows up wearing sweatpants.
So today, your joy practice is simple:
Look for one tiny delight.
The first sip of coffee.
The way the light hits the kitchen floor.
A text from someone who gets you.
A dog living its absolute best sidewalk life.
Clean sheets.
A ridiculous bird.
A snack that understands the assignment.
Then come back here and tell us:
What tiny delight found you today?
Because joy grows when we notice it.
And it multiplies when we share it.
