Awesome

Catherine's blog post is so true. After our visit to Michael and Coral's, Sasha I were talking about how we could see why Mike loved going up there so much. Such a great place to relax, de-stress, appreciate the beauty of the world around you, and let your imagination run free.

I'm happy to know that even though Mike worked his butt off over the years at Queens, he knew how to wind down and enjoy the simple things in life; a good cup of coffee, a game of pickup basketball or touch football with good friends, or gazing up to starry night in Perth.

Many of life's gifts can appear small or insignificant if you aren't in the right state of mind. A book called '1000 Awesome Things' highlights many small, odd, often overlooked, great things that we may encounter in our lives. For instance, when that white noise you didn't know existed in the background suddenly stops. Or peeling a hard-boiled egg and getting a large piece of shell off all at once. The list goes on and on. Go check out some for yourself. It will make you smile and maybe be a little more likely to find some of life's little awesome things yourself.
