1000 Awesome things (CERB version)

[Old Dog 179138]

A new book came out about a month ago called the Book of Awesome. It is the natural extension of a blogger's project to list 1000 awesome things... not stuff like the Sistine Chapel ceiling (which I must admit is awesome) or the Grand Canyon (also awesome.) He started the blog and book when things were going downhill in his life and needed to see simple things that made him smile.

 

This list has stuff like "popping bubble wrap," "the cold side of the pillow," "the smell of air in a bakery." Simple stuff that makes you smile... sooooo... let's try this out....

 

Here goes:

 

1. The feel of twirling soft hair between my fingers

2. A seductive whisper

3. A kiss with a sweet aftertaste.

4. A unexpected smile from a stranger.

5. Something so funny it makes you pee (just a little bit)

6. A steak cooked to perfection.

7. A great hair day

8. The first time she says, "I love you." (that was sappy but how can you argue with it?)

9. An ice cold beer on a hot day

10. An obscure song that just takes you back to that perfect day.
