Life's Little Joys

One of my favorite websites is called 1000awesomethings.com. It was started by a guy in Canada. He was going through a rough patch. His best friend had just taken his own life, his wife had suddenly left him, and he was looking for reasons to be positive. So, he sat down at his computer, and started to make a list of all the awesome things in the world. He soon came up with a list of 1,000 things.  Here's a few:

#267  Car dancing
#366  Little kids showing you their muscles

#472  Finishing your last exam
#495  When it suddenly just clicks
#526  When dreams come true
#538  Laughing so hard you start crying
#588  Tossing garbage in the trash can from far away

#643  The sound of steaks hitting a hot grill
#647  When batteries are included
#921  Snow days
