What is Awesome???

Hubby won a book for me the other day from a radio station...

He purposely entered the contest to get me this book because he thought that it would help me through those days when the carb depletion blocks my thoughts and my piece of the world seem full of struggles, high hills and long hungry roads....

When he heard the story behind why the book was written he knew I would love it... and he was spot on right!

The book arrived in the mail yesterday and it is fabulously awesome! It is called...

The Book Of Awesome and is written by Neil Pasricha.

It contains reminders of the little things in life that you can overlook when you are tied up being busy, or sad, or hungry and angry. But if you do take the time to notice them you realise how Awesome they are and how happy they make you... like...

Getting your ID checked when you are way over the age limit - Awesome!

The shampoo head massage you get at the Hairdresser - Awesome!

Perfectly toasted toast - Awesome!

He has a website too... it is www.1000awesomethings.com

So when you ARE having one of those days where everything is incredibly hard, you are really hungry, your cardio shoes give you blisters and your desk at work is under a pile of papers that you could reforest the amazon with if they had left the damn trees standing instead of turning them into paper... check out his website and you will find that...

remembering the sound of rain on the outside of your tent one day when you were camping in the back yard as a kid and you were warm and dry inside makes you smile and think about how Awesome that day was :o)
