Awesome thing #1: Discovering something that is "friend-telling" worthy.

The feeling of discovering something awesome, gets us all.The inner smile that we get, the image of our brain expanding (whoa!), feeling like you want to skip through a field of lavender (or lilies if you prefer), the delight that shows on our face, the sudden urgency to pull the first person we know and proudly ask "Do you know...?" followed by our recent discovery.

The joys of discovery is one that we all enjoy. And yes, I sure have discovered something awesome! Do you know about The Book of Awesome?

While surfing through the waves of this thing called the Internet the other day, I came across this awesome site! Yes, awesome I tell you. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome.

Started by Neil Pasricha, 1000 Awesome Things makes note of everyday happenings and things that make us smile, feel like a kid again, make us want to say "Yeah! Take that sucker!" or think of ourselves as awesome beings! Pasricha's take on all things awesome is incredibly funny, nostalgic and makes me feel like he has just invaded my mind. Spot on, Pasricha!
