Awesome and the rest of my day

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!
