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!

12 New Things...
So...several months ago I stumbled across this blog and it inspired me...
http://www.incourage.me/2010/08/12-things.html
The challenge was to pick one new thing to do or to learn every month for 1 year. At the time I read the blog, I had recently finished up school and was ready to take on some new hobbies and make some time to do some of the things I love which had been put on hold for the time I was studying. So I made my list of 12 New Things...
Here it is:
SEPTEMBER 2010 -- take a nap...because I can!
OCTOBER 2010 -- make apple crisps for the freezer
NOVERMBER 2010 -- pack, paint, move to our new home
DECEMBER 2010 -- Hold 1st annual Christmas baking exchange
JANUARY 2011 -- make cards and send to friends/family who may need it
FEBRUARY 2011 -- Make a Valentine's craft
MARCH 2011 -- Have a girls party with hot tub, wine, toenail painting
APRIL 2011 -- Use a Michaels coupon to do something creative
MAY 2011 -- take a hike with Mark and take some photos of creation
JUNE 2011 -- plant flower gardens, and attempt a small vegetable garden
JULY 2011 -- take a special holiday with Mark
AUGUST 2011-- prepare fruits and vegetables for freezing over the winter months
So far I've been on task and I've enjoyed doing some domesticated and creative things. My apple crisps turned out to be delicious, our new home is painted, decorated and feeling more homey by the day, and the baking exchange in December turned out to be a blast!
So, what about you, are there some new things you just haven't gotten around to doing? Are there goals you want to make but never seem to get them done? Perhaps try setting out to do one thing per month! Setting out small monthly goals or even bi-monthly goals may make things more achievable. For me, I was just trying to get back to doing some of the things I had always wanted to do while in school, but never seemed to have the time...and I can tell you, I'm thoroughly enjoying the freedom of graduated life! Exploring new hobbies and re-acquainting myself with my creative side!
So who's up for a girls party in March??
