  1. Hi….where is the one about the crossing the border…I wanted to send it to my friend and I can’t find it…help please…help is awesome! :)

  2. When you walk into an ice cream shop and watch them bring out a new pail of your favourite flavour just before you order. It’s so fulfilling when your two-scoop waffle cone is filled with fresh, soft ice-cream.

  3. When everything goes as planned.
    Yeah, I make lots of plans, but they hardly ever happen that way. Whether they just be weekend plans, birthday plans, vacation plans or life plans…when something works out they way you wanted them to…its so awesome!

  4. Awesome is when your elementary school janitor is throwing all of the lost balls off of the roof at the end of the year and you are at the right place at the right time.

  5. The smell of sunscreen……or is that just me? I love that hot coconut smell. Even when its not summer and I smell coconut, I think of summer.

  6. The old 1 dollar white suprises bag with a clown face on it, we used to feel them one by one before paying for it and then run outside the store to open it.

  7. Is there gonna be a second book of awesome?? Maybe the Book of More Awesome….or 2 Awesome! :-)
    I really do hope you write a second book. There’s just too much awesome to squeeze into one book.

  8. Oh goodness, I watched on tv news this morning, saw this and thought about getting a book to inspire me no matter what….because I am bored at home as not working…anyone in a same situation.

  9. Going camping and finally coming home to your bed after sleeping in a tent on the hard floor for three days.

    How utterly happy your dogs are when you come home after being gone for a while.

  10. when your soo high up in a tree watching the sunrise/sunset thinking about the person u luv ar with ur bff

  11. Hey, you were featured in the Guardians’s (UK national paper) weekend magazine, in the “this collumn will change your life” section, it’s like a page long :)

  12. Awesome blog!!
    Things I like:

    When a name, or word comes into your mind after trying to remember it for hours.

    Plucking your eyebrows.

    Sleeping in a tent in a public park.

    Taking off with a plane.

    Having exactly the amount of money you need.

    New stationery.

    YAWNING.

  13. Your memory or brain…whichever.
    Do you have any idea how many things we remember even if we don’t want to? Phone numbers, addresses, locker cominations, directions, how to play a game/sport, family times, embarrassing times, your first kiss, your first bike ride without training wheels, failing a test, acing a class…. its all up there, just stored away. Anything can trigger a memory~ a smell, a sound, a place…one memory could lead to another memory. Its all so very awesome!!

  14. Having a bad week and an even worse day, but then receiving an email from your girlfriend with a link to “1000 awesome things.” It’s nice to have someone that cares about your happiness just as much as their own.

  15. Something I find awesome:

    When you’re getting ready to go out, and your ride is meant to arrive but you’re not ready yet. Your phone rings and you panic because you’re expecting it to be your ride but it’s them letting you know they are running a little late :)

  16. When you write on your facebook status that you are returning home for a visit and a dozen people “like” it or comment on how excited they are to see you

    1. If my cat sees me cleaning the litter box, he’ll watch me for a few minutes and then go into it before I’m even finished. I have to scoop around him. AWESOME!

  17. When the team that you’re supporting scores a goal (this is for all the fans of the World Cup)

    GO SOCCEROOS!!!

  18. Not failing or being rejected when your expecting to be.
    Me and hubby are going to try to get a loan for a house today and I’m sorta expecting to not be able to get one………but if we do….that would be sooo incredibly awesome!!

  19. When you sibling you haven’t seen in a long time, surprises you by coming home!

    thats truley is AWESOME!!

  20. -when you toss a basketball into the net backwards and actually get it in
    – when you’re the only girl playing a sport with one guys or a group of guys…and you win
    – blasting the music while driving along the highway with your windows down, and sunroof open (when its sunny)
    -windshield washer fluid
    – being the first one to leave the auditorium after finishing an exam…especially if its your last exam
    -your first trip south without your parents
    -when your younger (adult) brother tells you he met someone, or that he thinks his girlfriend is “the one”

  21. When you’ve been single for a while, and you meet someone that you instantly click with. it’s unspoken, but don’t be coy, you both know.

  22. Snuggling on the sofa with someone I loved, laughing hysterically at the movie “Tremors.”

    Those increasingly rare moments when my mom peeks out of her Alzheimer’s fog and lets Dad and me know she still knows and loves us.

    Leaving out “step” and knowing she’s totally my daughter.

    The wonderful book of awesome to make me more thoughtful about all the awesome things in my world! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

  23. laughing until it hurts then laughing because it hurts
    those final seconds before you graduate

  25. I have a teacher that is completely and totally amazing, and I gave him the Book of Awesome for the end of the year with a note in the front saying how awesome he is…perfect gift.
