Favorite Things

So I read a blog about 1000 Awesome Things and decided to add to my own blog what I feel meets the Awesomeness criteria.  In no particular order:

• Holding my son while he is sleeping.  So peaceful and innocent. Although he is always sweet and innocent (seriously), when I watch him sleep he is still and I can admire his amazing qualities and kind heart. 

• When a friend (or anyone for that matter), brings me coffee.  

• Traveling the world.  Going to new places...seeing new sights and best of all, meeting new people. 

• Sharing a funny moment with a complete stranger....at the grocery store, at work, etc. 

• Christmas morning. 

• Sitting on the couch or in bed, with a blanket, cup of coffee, and a good book.  There is an additional layer of awesome to be added to this when it is raining or snowing outside. And a triple awesome layer if there are candles that smell good.

• Sitting outside and shooting the bull with good friends. 

• The smell of fresh cut grass. 

• A beautiful sunset.

• Making my students laugh with a stupid story or doing something ridiculous myself.  

• Having a job to go to when I wake up every morning and being thankful that it is a career I WANT to be doing.  

• Tons a falling snow. Simply awesome. Even awesomer if this falling snow is on above mentioned Christmas morning.

•  Thunderstorms

• Listening to music (80s especially) loudly and getting lost in it.  :)

• A good night's sleep.
