  1. 1000 awesome things is awesome.
    the author of the blog is beyond awesome too. just seen his speech on TED – haven’t heard something so inspiring for a rather long time.

  2. I discovered your site on google and checked a few of your early posts. I hope you will continue the very good work. I just added your RSS feed to Feedburner. I’m seeing forward to reading more from you later on!

  3. You look down and see a stranger’s baby passing by in a stroller and they look up and suddenly they give you a look of pure unadulturated surprise and pleasure at seeing you! Joy! Like your the best person in the world and they haven’t seen you in forEVER!

    It’s even better when the baby was looking at everything with only mild interest before.

  6. -forgetting you ordered Girl Scout Cookies and getting them delivered a couple of months later

    -the first steps onto a brand new/freshly washed, fluffy bath mat

    -taking naps outside in the summer, especially in a hammock or cozy couch on a porch

  7. Trying to figure out the perfect song that strangers could be walking to the beat of. I do this all the time with the teachers at my school. so awesome!

  8. Six degrees of separation. For example, my friend’s older brother (a red-head) was walking across campus when Emma Watson shouted, “Ron Weasley!” Or, my friend’s other friend met Justin Bieber who worked with Tina Fey who is friends with Amy Poehler. AWESOME!

  9. 1). Finally catching a firefly and then letting it go.(:
    2). The little bottles of shampoo and conditioner they give you for free in a hotel.(:

  10. I’d love to submit some of my ideas in my own words, but I’ve been thinking this entire day and I just can’t seem to write out anything good enough. I will keep trying though and hopefully something will come to me that will work.

  11. Here ‘s one more for the list (Have read it somewhere also)
    “When the love of your life (your child) finds the love of his/her life.”

  12. ON A COOL DAY, TAKING THE WARM PANTS THAT YOU PUT IN THE DRYER THE NIGHT BEFORE OUT, AND PUTTING THEM ON IS AWESOME!!

  13. When you feel all alone,
    wanna leave the world,
    when everything seems to go wrong,
    when you’re just suurounded by questions n questions,
    and suddenly your phone rings, displaying the name of the person,
    whom you love the most and that puts up that little smile on your face…
    Man that feels awesome……… \m/
