{Thankful Thursday. Awesome.}

So there's this book and lately I've heard from so many people that it is well awesome....

called "The BOOK OF AWESOME" I have it on hold at the library I'm only number 41 or something like that, but I can't wait to read it. From what I can tell its about the simple things in life the things that make life awesome that we don't even realize  or that we take for granted ......little things reading over some of them brought back so many memories..some made me smile laugh..or think to myself other people do that too?

I am So thankful for laughter. family. memories. time. 

for living where I do, for having the GOSPEL in my life and realizing more each year that 

its the little things that make the big things in life....

its finding that 

if we enjoy the simple moments in  life, we will be happier.” 

- Ben Huh,

 "Little things, it turns out, are extremely important to happiness, and The Book of Awesome will remind you of a thousand little things that will make you happier."--website

Here are some  from the book that created a memory or made me laugh hard....each one is connected to a short story or essay. I got these from the 1000 things of awesome website ... I think this is an AWESOME book {that I haven't even read yet ha ha} because it brings us closer together to realize that we all feel the same about lots of things and that they bring back such memories that you didn't realize where such great things to be thankful for like....the simplest things we aren't even aware of....

#417 The sound of water lapping against a dock

#418 Carrying the ice cube tray you just filled up all the way back to the freezer without spilling

#412 The air just before a thunderstorm

#414 Driving home from a long trip and getting all your radio stations back

#415 When you’re not the new guy anymore

#401 The sound of dry leaves blowing across an empty parking lot

#404 When someone’s leaving the bathroom at the same time as you so you don’t have to touch the door

#376 Realizing you still remember the words to a song you haven’t heard in years

#373 When you think you’re out of candy but then find one more left in the package

#358 When you sneeze and fart at the same time so nobody notices the fart....... It’s like getting away with something illegal.

#360 Finally cleaning your disgustingly filthy windshield

#353 Seeing Christmas trees through the window

#341 Saying ‘See you next year!’ to everyone on new year’s eve and then laughing hysterically

#335 Catching someone you love admiring you from across the room

so did any of these strike something in you too?

Speaking of AWESOME I have four little awesome's each one perfect in their own little package...not a day goes by that I don't thank my Heavenly Father for these four awesome children. I'm not a katy Perry fan but for some reason when I heard this song I heard it in a different way and I thought of each of my kids and how much I want for them in this life....

You don't have to feel like a waste of space

You're original, cannot be replaced

If you only knew what the future holds

After a hurricane comes a rainbow

Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed

So you can open one that leads you to the perfect road

Like a lightning bolt, your heart will glow

And when it's time, you'll know

You just gotta ignite the light

And let it shine

Just own the night

Like the Fourth of July

Cause baby you're a firework

Come on show 'em what your worth

Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"

As you shoot across the sky-y-y

--------------------------------------------- 

and have an Awesome Day..
