It's the little things that count...

This made me smile... The Book of Awesome by Neil Pasricha lists the simple things in life that most of us appreciate but never really acknowledge. For half of the list, go here. (If you want the whole list you gotta buy the book. It did start as a blog though.)

Take a look at Neil's list and see what resonates with you. Here are my personal favourites (only from 800-1000...they're all good!):

#997 Locking people out of the car and pretending to drive away

#995 Finding money you didn’t even know you lost
 
#992 Being the first table to get called up for the dinner buffet at a wedding
 
#990 Picking up a q and a u at the same time in Scrabble
 
#980 Old, dangerous playground equipment
 
#958 Being the first person into a really crowded movie theater and getting the prime seats
 
#943 Using Q-Tips the way you’re not supposed to use them
 
#935 Eating cookies like Cookie Monster
 
#933 The first scoop out of a jar of peanut butter

#817 Doing something half-assed at the last minute and getting away with it
