Things that stop me in my tracks, even if it's just to drool.

Most of the time, life is such a whirlwind of activity that an entire day can pass by in just a few stirs of a spoon or clicks of a camera. As a result, I try to make it a point to really stop and savor the smaller moments, to truly appreciate capturing a beautiful image or inhaling an incredible scent. On top of that, some days my stress level can affect my mood so much that I completely lose sight of the wonder within my surroundings, but a quick reminder can make a huge difference. Thus, I keep a collection of anything and everything that strikes me with either awe, an urge to laugh, or an impulse to drool.
