Little moments

With all of chaos of new job, mom's surgery, moving, and trying to sell the house, I have really tried to find little moments each day to appreciate.  These just seem to be a minute or two where the universe goes. .. "Here.  Chill out.  Look at this at just be for a few seconds."   
In return, my soul feels better afterwards, even if it is just by a little bit.

Examples of late :
Damselfly flitting over the orchids
A green frog hanging out on a leaf
Two herons flying close by
Two hawks sitting on the telephone wire a few miles apart
A bald eagle flying close enough to see that it was a bald eagle
A wonderfully beautiful seashell

And then sometimes the universe laughs in my face...

A great big YES to all of this. Walks at work, wildlife, and scenery are all that's keeping me sane. But they *are* keeping me sane, so I'm grateful.
