So...I've recently come across the website 1000 awesome things! It's quite entertaining...
http://1000awesomethings.com/
Here are a few examples in their list of their awesome things...
* hitting a bunch of green lights in a row
* track pants
* the perfect egg crack
* dropping your cell phone on the sidewalk and then realizing its totally fine
* the smell of the coffee aisle at the grocery store
* popping bubble wrap
* biting the last piece of a Popsicle without loosing any of it
* pulling a weed and getting all the roots with it
* when a public washroom has paper towels instead of hand dryers
* stealing a nacho off someone else's plate
* vacuuming a dirty carpet and hearing all the tiny rocks going through the hose
* placing the last piece of a puzzle
* shoveling handfuls of popcorn in your mouth really fast and spilling it everywhere (this one's for Mark!!)
I could go on...and on...AND ON.... since there are 987 more!
but I thought it might be fun to list a few of my awesome things...
* sleeping in and waking to the sweet sunshine gleaming through the window
* enjoying a cup of coffee with my love
* telling a joke and people laugh with me
* the feeling of excitement and passion welling up deep inside -- love it!
* the relaxing tingle when you first climb into the hot tub
* hearing one of my favorite songs come on the radio/ipod, and cranking it really loud
* beating my brother-in-law in scrabble
* the little ones in our lives -- hearing 'ti-ti' (auntie) and 'uncu' (uncle) from Ethan, and when Maryn and Laene run around with sheer excitement when we walk in the door
* sharing long conversations with good friends -- renews my heart!
* making a craft and it turns out beautifully...
* eating chocolate...
* finding the perfect gift for a someone special
* when someone surprises you with something -- knowing its exactly what you need!
* laughing so hard your stomach hurts...
Hmmmm... contemplating the good things in life today!
