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!):
