When was the last time you slowed down to notice...
the smaller, less noticeable everyday events in life such as the sunset...

I was just outdoors in the yard and watched the sunset and realized to myself that I could not recall the last time I watched an entire sunset or noticed the smaller things in life that go by daily without much thought...

2. we are so fortunate here in wv -
i've lived a lot of places and climes but i've never seen a spring anywhere like here in wv! the buds are coming out and a lot are blooming. colors everywhere! green everywhere! almost makes it worth going through the winter.. and i love sitting out at night and watching the fireflies. can't beat ol' ma nature for sheer artistry!

5. All the time.
I need to, or my high stress job would have killed me already.

6. One of the joys of living in rural America...
The pace of life is slower here, and still do things like that. :)

8. When I notice a stunning nature scene
I live in the city so it is not as often as I would like, but I have seen the beauty in the sky before at sunset. I agree with you, it is important to notice things like this when they appear.
