We’re going through a very difficult time right now and a lot of people are feeling isolated and disconnected from their fellow human beings.

And since we don’t know how long this whole fiasco is going to last, the uncertainty really makes everything that much harder.

That’s why it’s important to appreciate the positive, little things in life right now, even if they only give us a temporary reprieve from the madness of the world.

A Facebook group called View From My Window encourages people to share tiny snapshots from their lives and the photos can really take you to different places around the world and take your mind off the craziness.

Enjoy these photos and remember to keep your spirit up!
