My new favorite site

I spent an irresponsible amount of time today scrolling through 1000awesomethings.com.

It's sort of like that book, 14,000 things to be happy about, but with commentary. It lists things like life's simple pleasures, nostalgic memories that everyone shares, the good stuff in life. I found myself smiling as I looked through the entries. They're counting down from 1000, each day lists something new. Here's one of the shorter, sweeter ones:

Everyone’s mom’s are a little bit different.

But your mom’s are the best.

AWESOME!



I wish I could be so positive everyday!

your neighbor

p.s. my inquiry is only slightly motivated by the infant I have sleeping in the next room.

Olympic propaganda



Omg, this commercial made me cry. Is it my hormones or is this just really good advertising?
