The author of 1000 awesome things was on a radio show yesterday morning talking about his blog and bestselling book. He said he was at an awful point in his life, his wife had just told him she didn't love him anymore, his best friend had passed away from depression. He started the blog listing awesome things in his life and it helped make him happier. His book is now a number one best seller in North America. He now has a girlfriend and is quite happy these days.
Later at the gym I found myself talking about voting in the upcoming May 2nd General election. K has a school project on the topic, so normally very unpolitical, I felt I had at least a comment to make. Then we talked about the upcoming Royal Wedding, what else?
Then I was in a store listening to this young boy in a stroller: '10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1'...'1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10' I had to ask his mother how old he was because he sounded pretty smart and didn't seem to be much more than a baby. She said he was 2 1/2 years old, but learns a lot from his older brothers.
Then K terrorized me with his over-confident driving skills and loud blaring music when I picked him up after school.
Hope you had a 'good' day too!

Awesome ;)
I think our thinking, behaviour, words are our prayers, so if we think positive, God willing, things will be positive. At least that is my theory.
I spoke like an adult when I was little because I learned from my conversations with my grandparents.
Hi Christine.....I am a true believer in focusing on the positive....it sure helps!
I am also looking forward to the Royal Wedding....can't wait to see the enchanted forest in the church....they spent 82,000 on trees for the church....it will be amazing!!!!!!!!
You sound like you had a great day!!!!
Have a great week!
So funny you blogged about that book, I saw the next one he wrote (I do believe it's called more awesome things?) in Chapters Wednesday when I was wandering around the city with no where to go. I read through a few pages and it cheered me up - I hadn't even heard of the first. I think I'm going to have to pick up a copy!
