I'll be upfront - this post is not school-related.  However, I just started reading, "The Book of Awesome," by Neil Pasricha and felt compelled to share with you all.  This book started off as a website (1000 Awesome Things) of little things that are, in fact, "awesome."  Many of these things have brought back memories reminiscent of my childhood and a few of them I still enjoy and appreciate to this day.  I will admit, some of these things are cliche and offer my husband too much ammunition for mocking me (ie: finding money you didn't know you lost).  However, many of them I wouldn't have thought of or have struck a personal cord of appreciation (ie: #966 - Living with someone who doesn't mind killing spiders, or #400 - putting your own shoes back on after going bowling).  Some I wouldn't have dreamed of and I can't even mention them here due to their nature (if I've piqued your curiousity, I'm referring to #950).  In any case, as teachers I think we all need pick-me-ups from time to time and this book/website just may do it for you!
