The Book of Awesome!

Today as I was dropping my oldest off at pre school my bestie (Erin) gave me this book. Our boys go to pre school together and I see her from time to time there.
At first I will admit that I thought she was holding a bible, lol.
I asked her "what's that"? She said "oh this is for you, its the book of awesome".
WHAT????
This book is one I recommend to everyone and you have to read it to really get it but I will try to explain. First off I just started reading it so I am only a little ways in but here is what its about...
You know when you find a 20$ bill in a coat pocket that you hadn't worn in months, well that's awesome.

Or when you go to shovel your snow only to find that your neighbour had already done it for you. Awesome.

Or when you wake up only to look at the clock and find that you get another hour of sleep. Awesome.

This book is just about some of the awesome things that happen in our lives and makes us realize that sometimes we need to stop and smile at those things and realize how amazing those little things are. Some of the things I have read in this book so far have put a huge smile on my face and made me think "wow that really is awesome". And the best part is, she got it as a Christmas gift, gave it to me to read and once I am done I have to pass it along to someone else to read. I think that's awesome! We also decided to write our names in the book after we read it and before we pass it along, so if it ever ends up in your hands just know where the tail began, from this beautiful lady in my life......

P.S I think I might buy a copy just to keep at home so I can read it from time to time :) Enjoy your Monday!!
