10 Awesome Things!

This past week has sucked- and I mean that with every fiber of my being. And when things suck (and usually when they dont) I still like to find a "silver linning"- a look on the brighter side of things. There is a websight I ocasionally visit http://www.1000awesomethings.com/ where every day (Lets just guess for 1,000 days give or take a few) they post something "awesome". So since this week i have really ahd to struggle to find my silver-linnings, I thought I would share 10 of the awesome things keeping me going this week.

#1 Heals that click when you walk
I consider myself kind of a girly-girl. And so one of the joys in my life is getting to own and wear heals,wedges,espidrils, and any number of other shoes...i prefer ones that click. i dont think anyone gets as much joy and happiness as I do than the sound of walking down a hard surfaced floor and hearing my bright shinny wedges clicking with every single step. I have this exact shoe.. and it clicks ... and it makes me happy.

#2 Lunch Dates-With the Girls
I conside lunch with the girls one of the best ways to spend an hour during the hours of 9-5... Im lucky to work early enough that I get breakfast with them too. But going out with 4 girls, waling up the sidewalk of some resturaunt (all in clicky healed shoes) is something that can always bring a smile to my face- and a feeling of "we can take over the WORLD". That and sitting around giggling and telling stories like some Olive Garden commercial isnt to shabby either.

#3 Pens that write perfect, and make your hand writing look good. I think that digging thru a cup of 10-15 pens that dont work is a huge pain. So I stock mine with these. Sharpie fine tipped pens. Now, unless they want to pay me for advertizing ( totally not oposed to that) Ill totally make a post it/sharpie type commercial for them bragging and raving about how amazing it is to use it, it doesnt bleed thru anything, AND it makes my handwriting look sleek weither im writing in a hurry or not-but it makes me happy to know i dont have to hunt and click thru 3 pens to find one that I love.

#4 A text from a friend that makes you smile-and "LOL"
When that "ping" sound comes from my little black phone sitting on my desk and for a split second I think(In a angry flustered voice) "For all that is holy and pure in the world!" ... only to pick it up, see a messege from a friend ( iuse my phone for work too, so often i get texts from Drs and others) with something funny and silly and all i can do is smile and tilt my head back and let out a little laugh. (hence the LOL)

#5 When you walk into a good smelling room.

My office, and my house are the two places I seem to be the most latley-ever notice how sometimes when you get used to a smell you cant really smell it anymore? well... I think its so awesome to walk into a room when you forget that you changed the smell and it hits you and *bam* happiness in one sniff

#6 when a great song you have been waiting for finally gets played(that is until they play it so much you shed a tear every time you hear it)

BUT until then, just know im turning my speeker up and singing along to every word like its ♪867-5309♫

#7 Free Healthcare

For those that dont know (which you should If you are snooping around my blog) I work very closley for a group of Drs that specialize in Hospitalists care. Meaning I have 9 Drs at my instant disposal. If i cough funny, or twitch or even say I have a headache there are 9 people at the ready to check my pulse, make sure my skin isnt clamy and write out any number of prescriptions. I should cancel my insurence...since i never have to "see" a Doctor.

#8 Color Copies.

Ohh yes. You read it correctly- I said COLOR COPIES- The extent and extreem lengths not to meantion the many recorses that I will go to just to get a color copy (even if its just one blue line on an entire sheet of paper in black and white) is comical. Or at least im sure it is if someone were to watch what I would do for one simple splash of color on a sheet of 8 1/2 X11 paper.

#9 When the A.C. gets colder faster than you thought it would.

Here in St.G its a huge perk! In fact its almost necessary for life to continue. But its always a breath of fresh air (get it?? :) ) And its an added bonus when it gets so cold you have to take it off "blast thru metal" warp speed air pressure.

#10 Wind

I went for a walk last night around my neighborhood...StG ususally isnt that windy let alone breezy, but as I roamed around I could feel the air blow the hair out of my face and brush across my arms (this is starting to sound like some korny romance novel) ...BUT the wind was wonderful! It makes me happy- It lets you know you are outside, and it "freshens" the air around you that your breathing- and all in all just a great feeling. I know im not explaining this to its full enjoyability- but next time there is a breeze- go stand outside and mimick this picture-toss your hands up, push your face out, and just enjoy the feeling of wind as a smile creeps onto your face
