Awesome

[Donna K & Quincy]

A few days ago I was watching TV and they were interviewing a guy named Neil Pasricha who is the author of a book called The Book of Awesome. He said something that struck a chord, he said “Life is so great that we only get a tiny moment to enjoy everything we see. That moment is right now. And that moment is counting down. And that moment is always, always fleeting. You will never be as young as you are right now.”
 His premise is that there are awesome little things that happen to us every day and we just need to stop and take a moment to appreciate them. With all the bad that happens in this world every day, we miss out on all the little things that bring us just a slight bit of pleasure.

 

Quincy and I want to wish you all a Happy Holiday, no matter what or where you celebrate we wish you peace and joy.

Some awesome things that happened to me today.

I went to Walmart to return something, there was no lineup just me. Awesome

 

We went for a walk on the golf course and ran into Quincy's doodle friend Molly ( who is absolutely adorable) two doodle romping in the snow. Awesome

I tried a Blueraspberry Martini. Awesome

 

This time of the year is especially hectic so slow down and share something awesome that happened to you.

Any day that includes sunshine and doodles is totally awesome. :>)

I love this philosophy Donna and I thank you for sharing it.  In my books both you and Quincy are awesome <3 !

I had a big awesome today.  We got home late last night from a week in Jamaica (very awesome).  It was the longest ever away from Gavin though and I missed him like crazy.  Today I went to pick him up and the dog sitter let him out to greet me in the driveway. He literally jumped up, hugged and kissed me!!  He as never done this to me before.  First a look of true surprise and then he planted a paw on each shoulder and licked my face as I embraced him (totally awesome)!

Aw, Thanks BG, and that welcome home sounds pretty awesome. :>)

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

I love this, Donna, thank you for posting it.

For the first time in many, many months, Jackdoodle was on my bed with me as I fell asleep last night. Awesome.

[Donna K & Quincy]

Karen that is awesome, I remember you saying how JD doesn't stay on the bed with you.

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

He never did for years. He also hadn't been able to get up on my bed for a few months because of his disc problem. So seeing him up there is awesome enough, but then to have him stay there with me was really Awesome!

[Lucy & AnnaBelle's Mom]

Yeah, very exciting to hear!  Hope that is the beginning of good things to come.  :o)

Wonderful Karen!! Big smile!!

[Deanna & Desi & Cori]

This post is AWESOME!!  You're right, so many awesome things happen each day and we often overlook them.  

My "awesome" for today - we're in the process of remodeling a couple of bathrooms and most days we have contractors, sub-contractors, and their accompanying noise and mess at the house starting early in the morning.  Today - nobody is here and the peace and quiet is AWESOME!!!

Deanna, you are so right, the sweet sound of silence is awesome. :>)
