I recently listened to a podcast ("The Happiness Lab," with Dr. Laurie Santos) which deals with ways to make your life happier. And she featured a guest who talked about finding delightful things in everyday life....basically learning to appreciate and be grateful for small things which tickle you.

Well, today I listened to an episode of "No Stupid Questions" (which I know I've also mentioned is a wonderful podcast), and it provided me with the following delightful passage, part of the "fact check" they do at the end.

One of the hosts was discussing a near-death experience which happened to him, but he wondered briefly whether it happened under an overpass, or on an underpass. This is the sort of thing which I notice because of my love of words. The producer/fact-checker noted:

An overpass can only exist in relation to an underpass. Without an underpass, an overpass is just a bridge. Without an overpass, an underpass is just a tunnel. So the dangerous incident with the tractor-trailer must've occurred on an underpass, beneath an overpass. However a road can be both an overpass and an underpass simultaneously, if, for example, it's part of a multi-level highway system.

"Without an underpass, an overpass is just a bridge. Without an overpass, an underpass is just a tunnel." *LOL* I love it! I've decided this is my unexpected delight for today.

Anybody out there been delighted recently?
