It only took a moment

It’s funny how when you start looking for things, they suddenly seem to be in front of you all the time. Since I started looking for the beautiful gifts around me, they seem to be in greater abundance. Yesterday morning I was walking out of my front door to catch the bus for work, and I was suddenly aware of the tiny flowers on the butterfly plants (gaura) in my garden. There was a light misty rain and the flowers were covered in tiny raindrops. I had to stop and capture the moment.

And yes, I still made it in time to catch the bus.

What have you looked for, that you now seem to notice all the time?
