Things you noticed being sober/clean

Or put in another light... Things you noticed when you slow down and take life...one moment at a time.

Seeing the moon that Mike posted about had me reflect on a few things.
Lilacs in the air, cherry blossoms in the spring.
My being a biker I notice things from that perspective as well. With my nose in the wind, I notice a lot more then inside a closed car.
Ride down the highway just as it starts to rain... the smell of the oil lifting off the road. The bakery cooking the bread. The spice manufacturer grinding the pepper. Skunks *LOL* OK even on a day that my head would be in the clouds, the skunk still would get notice.
Thing is... as we remain sober and take life one moment at a time, we can see so much around us. The smile on a baby's face. The many colors that make up the blue in a person's eye. The wrinkles of wisdom seen in a 90 year old wise grandmother.

Slow down, look about and then post what you see over the next day or so.
As with Mike bringing attention to the beautiful moon last night (THANK YOU MIKE) we, just by our posting such things can enlighten each other with the many things of beauty around us.
So what have you seen?
