This is another list that, initially, you might look at and think, "That's a delight?" But in context, they are. The Buddha said suffering comes from basically two things: resisting things you don't want and holding on to things you do. Therefore, peace or delight comes from accepting things you don't want (but can't avoid) and letting go of things you do—enjoy them while they're here, but don't grasp.
According to legend, King Solomon had a ring inscribed with the ultimate wisdom: "This, too, shall pass." That's also the heart of peace.
So when you see something below that is basically a relief from pain, recognize that, too, is a sort of delight.
1. Ankle brace advice
I have bones disintegrating in my right ankle. I have an appointment next week to get fitted for a brace that should help, but a) that's a week away, and b) even after the fitting and molding, it's going to take some time to get the actual brace. In the meantime, I have to keep walking around, slowly aggravating the condition.
We tried to get an ankle brace at a local sporting goods store, but they didn't have a size that would fit me.
Though I didn't have the time, we took the time anyway and drove to the nearby bigger city to a medical equipment specialty store. Not only did we get an ankle brace that fits properly and supports my ankle, but we had the help of someone in the store with expertise in braces, and it cost the same as the ones at the sporting good store. That means we got expert help and made sure of the right fit without it costing a dime! That's worth two delights. This one is about the advice and the kindness of the sales consultant.
