My Book Of Awesome

Good evening, I hope your your day was as fun-filled as mine! Just kidding, I did absolutely nothing all day. And it was awesome! So up here in Canada, we do things a little differently. We live in igloos, we ride polar bears to school, and our parliament buildings are an exact replica of the White House except completely made of ice. Kidding, again! But we do get a lot of snow, especially today. We got at least 60 inches! Therefore all the buses (not polar bears) were cancelled due to dangerous road conditions. Which inspired my new segment for this blog: My Book Of Awesome. Now, some of you might have already heard of The Book Of Awesome, written by Neil Pasricha, which I haven't read but you should buy and then lend it to me. Anyway, this segment will be virtually the same thing except its all things that I consider Awesome. Every day, or maybe not, I will post something that I think is awesome. Something totally random that came to my attention that day. I've learned that we go through life not fully appreciating the little things, we focus on complaining when we should be enjoying. As my dad says "You have to find the chocolate in the oatmeal". I'm not sure if chocolate would even taste good in my morning porridge but you get the idea. So, the Awesome thing of the day is.... snow! Today was a snow day and even though I just got a new treatment for my warts (attractive, huh?) a couple days ago and I've been limping around the house, I still didn't have to go to school which is always awesome! So next time you are unhappy because you have to shovel the sidewalk or the car gets stuck in a snow bank, think of the children who don't have to go to school that day. Actually that doesn't sound very good. Just appreciate the beauty and awesomeness of snow, because there are some people in the world who have never even seen it. Mother nature should distribute it more fairly, don't you think? We get 60 inches of snow and the Sahara desert gets 60 inches of sand. And spiders, and snakes, and scorpions. We definitely have the better deal up here in Canada. 4 full seasons and fewer venomous creatures. So, stay awesome snow! We are glad to have you! Sincerely, Sam
