How long has it been since you have stopped to smell those proverbial roses? Are you caught up in a life that just seems filled with chaos, drama and passes by in what seems like a complete blur?
I know from experience that it is really easy to get caught up in all those things that we believe are so important that we don't see, or forget to look for all those little things about life that are truly awesome.
There are times in all our lives that it can be really hard to find the greatness in anything, when it seems you are traveling a never-ending path of pain and suffering. That so called light at the end of the tunnel has been distinguished and seems to be completely non-existing.
Last week I came across a blog that has helped me to look for those things that can bring a smile to your face. You can start walking that path of happiness by revisiting a time when life was full of innocence and remember how it felt to experience something for the first time. The blog is called "1000 Awesome Things" and has been turned into two books called "The Book of Awesome" and "The Book of Even More Awesome".
I want to give you a small sample of the awesome things on this list.
- Real bearded Santa’s
- Using rock-paper-scissors to settle anything
- The smell of rain
- Eating cookies like the cookie monster
- Getting a trucker to blow their horn
- Baby’s toes
- The other side of your pillow
- Celebrating your pet’s birthday even though they have no idea what's going on
I am putting a challenge out there for you all to go to this site where I'm sure you will find something in this list that will give you a good laugh, or at the very least, bring a smile to your face. I'm sure there is something awesome there for everyone.
