REVIEW
I LOVE this book. It's not a novel, it's really a long list. Each page (maybe more, depending) is another one of those small things in life that we take for granted. When you're having a bad day, it's the perfect book to pull out and read a page or two. It reminds me of how much there is to be appreciated in life, like bakery air, popping bubble wrap, and splashing in puddles. When was the last time YOU splashed in a puddle, huh?
So when I was looking for a video for The Book of Awesome, I didn't really expect to find one. But I found a few. The first one is a song that a guy wrote for his girlfriend about Neil Pasricha's blog, 1000awesomethings. It's a bit personal, but its really cute. The second video...I don't know...her hat just made me laugh. And the third one is awesome.
