My Little Awesome Things - The Blog

I know... it's been done before, and it's been adapted into a book. However, when I heard about The Book of Awesome, I felt a compulsion to keep a record of my own personal awesome things. I don't know about you, but I often dwell on the things in my life that makes me sad or frustrated -- I guess I'm a pessimist or a cynic that way, and it's making life more difficult than it needs to be.

Everyday has its ups and downs, even if the balance between the two changes. But by celebrating the ups, perhaps I can become a more positive and productive individual who is pleasant to be around. Plus I'm hoping it will help keep my sanity intact.

The story of how I conceived this blog is a little awesome thing in itself. During choir rehearsal today, my conductor started talking about The Book of Awesome and how it is just filled with concise "chapters" of pick-me-ups. She was determined to buy a copy; in the meantime, she intrigued some of us in the room. We were talking in the parking lot after rehearsal and someone suggested we go for a coffee or ice cream, so coffee at Chapters was decided upon, where we can check out The Book of Awesome. In the end, it was a relaxing hour of chatting with friends over coffee and checking out what the bookstore had to offer. I even got the gift card I've been meaning to buy for someone. That in itself was quite awesome after a day in the lab.
