I came across the 'Book of (even more) Awesome' at the Lifeline Book Fair at EPIC this year (along with 'I Lick My Cheese', a hilarious read for anyone who's lived and survived in a share house!). Such an original yet simple concept. If you need a daily dose of positivity, or something to go ahhhh yes, that thing
IS awesome! Visit the website

What's your awesome thing?
My personal faves from the book:
Riding home with a box of pizza (or fish and chips) on your lap.
That one person who laughs when you tell a really bad joke.
Letting go of the petrol pump perfectly so you end on a round number.
Taking your high heels off at the end of the night and walking home in bare feet (or your boyfriend's shoes).
Napping with somebody else.
When the person you're meeting is even later than you are.
Finally realising where you know someone from after staring at them forever.
Placing the last piece of the puzzle.
Emptying the recycling bin on your desktop.
Waking up to the smell of sizzling bacon.
When the plane suddenly speeds up on the runway.
The first couple of hours of the road trip.
Whipping down the hill really fast on your bike after pedalling hard all the way up.
Accidentally doing something really good in sports.
Setting the new high score on a game.
Taking a spin on the shopping trolley.
Finally getting the perfect photo.
Seeing a really happy dog out for a walk.
Wearing your boyfriend's jumper.
That feeling in your stomach when you go really high on the swing.
Getting to the light at the end of the tunnel.
...and a few of my own:
Doing a prefect reverse parallel park and feeling like you can take on the world.
Bag chips.
Laughing so hard no sound comes out.
Opening mail and finding a cheque in the envelope.
Driving in the opposite direction past a traffic jam.
Re- discovering old video games. Below: Timon and Pumbaa's Jungle Games.
