If you haven't heard of the book of Awesome, you need to go to 1000 Awesome Things . It is incredible. He started the whole blog up when he was in a dark place and in need of focus. Focus on the GOOD things around him. The little things. And gosh darn it.... it worked. Like everyone (everyone being those life coach people) says, if you begin to appreciate simplicity, the small things, your life becomes richer. The first time I read parts of his book I howled. Some are just so funny. Overall, I was left with the sense that as we become more individualistic and drawn into thinking "I am just SOOoooo special", we really are all the same. We have all crawled back into bed on a cold night and marvelled at the warmth of the cocoon of sheets. Most of us have had the sensation of fufillment when really really thirsty and you have that gulp of water. We are all living things that have pretty similar experiences (north americans anyway). Not so unique.
So, I am thinking I should start my tally of awesome. Maybe put it as a side bar? Hmmm. There is a thought. Something to remind me that no matter how crappy I feel, or anxious my mood, there is good to be found and thought of!
