The Book of Awesome


I nabbed this book off the New shelf at the library on a whim. And I'm so glad!

It's chock full of reminders for us to be grateful--and almost every page makes me smile.

Each "awesome" item gets a page or two of explanation, but most of them speak for themselves. A few examples: The smell of crayons, peeling an orange in one shot, when you nudge the person snoring next to you and they stop, old folks who sit on their porch and wave at you when they go by.

See?

The author actually started a web site one night, when he wanted a place full of good things in life, to counter all the rough news we see every day.

I think he's onto something... awesome!
