I found this blog today on my gym's website - reading how happy our trainer was after reading some of the 1000 awesome things and other members posting some of their favourite things....I thought I would check it out.
And yup...it is awesome.
The 1000 Awesome Things Blog
is a reminder about how many things in life are well....awesome....and sometimes when we get caught up in our own selves we forget about living in the moment.
I know I do...especially right now...o.k. for the last 3 years....I have been living in the future...it is good to be reminded about how much there is that is AWESOME right now!
So, as a continuation from my gym's blog and in the spirit of the 1000 Awesome Things Blog:
Here are 7 things I think are awesome:
1.) holding hands with my husband - this never gets old
2.) having all 4 of my animals snuggling on my lap at once (it happens)
3.)summer rainstorms - sitting on the front deck watching the rain and smelling the freshness of the air.
4.)trying a recipe for the first time and having it turn out
5.)a hot shower after hard work out
6.)vanilla ice cream on a sugar cone
7.)sitting by a campfire wrapped up in a blanket while someone plays the guitar and sings
What 7 things do you think are awesome?
