I found a web site today called 1000 Awesome Things and am completely smitten with it. Instead of focusing on bad things like so many of us tend to do … “my back hurts” or “the kitty carrier smells like urine” or “flooding destroys 289 homes” the site focuses on positive things. More specifically, awesome things.
Like picking up things with your feet. Like digging a hole in your mashed potatoes and making a gravy lake. Like getting in the car to find someone has filled the tank. AWESOME!
I needed this one today,
Jam your elbows in that stomach, breathe in those shampoo fumes, and squeeze your knees into the puffy cushions while spooning into a quick catnap on the couch. As drool drips, skin warms, and a slippery sweatfilm slides between you, just smile, close your eyes, and fade into a quiet cuddly moment with someone you love.
