Awesome!!!

The first time I was introduces to the “Book of Awesome” was when I was at camp. At campfire we would always read a couple ‘awesomes’. For those of you who don’t know what the book is all about let me fill you in; the book of awesome is pretty much a huge list of awesome things in life. For instance, turning over your pillow to the cold side… Awesome! This brilliant idea of a book was thought up by Neil Pasricha. Neil describes himself as an average American guy who started a blog about life’s free little joys that happen in our daily lives. Neil’s blog became extremely popular, so he turned the concept into a book; he now is the author of 4 awesome books. When I was reading the book sometimes I would come across things he wrote about and be like, “other people like that too!?”, so it was cool to see that other people notice these little things too.  After reading it, I am much more aware of the awesome little things that go on around me every day.

 Here are some things I think are awesome; unexpected apologies, so when you get in a fight with like a sibling and you’re so mad at them. There you are sitting there stewing about how angry you are and then out of nowhere they come apologize. Fight over, Awesome. Making a new friend, like that moment when someone goes from being an acquaintance to a friend. For instance, you go to a new camp and you don’t know anyone so you have to actually work at getting to know people. Then the end of you time together, when you have to say goodbye to these people that just a week ago were strangers now are friends, Awesome. OK my last ones are kind of similar but getting your head massaged or you back drawn on. I remember in grade school, when we would have story time on the carpet me and all my friends would sit in a line and draw on each other’s backs. Awesome, haha.  What are some of yours?
