Hello Lovely People,
To try and counterbalance my icky thoughts and feelings, I've decided to make a list of all the awesome things that happen during the week (a la Book of Awesome). This can be an effective tool against anxiety as it makes you remember all the good things that happened even if you were feeling crappy. Life can still be fun even if your feeling low.Weekly Bits of Awesome:
- Skipping class to go walk out on the jetty with friends during the first real sunny day of spring. We saw 7 bald eagles and some awesome rare ducks!
- Discovering the joys of living in a city that has cherry blossoms! They really are gorgeous!
- Boyfriend getting a BBQ and inviting the pals over for the first BBQ of the year, nearly burning the corn on the cob to bits.
- Discovering the joys of putting smoked salmon on Eggs Benedict.
- Discovering the joys of "Good Rats" by Dropkick Murphys, loves me some Irish style drinking music even if I don't drink that much (song here)
- Writing my first draft of my comedy webseries pilot.
- Discovering that outside of Science World in Vancouver there is a awesome machine that just transports balls up and down making cool music, almost like a Rube Goldberg Machine. It's hard to explain but it was really cool.
- Speaking of Rube Goldberg machine's, rediscovering old music I loved as a teen, such as Honest Mistake by The Bravery (song here)
- Making a candle out of an orange with my room mate (it's just the orange peel and olive oil, instructions here)
- Finding out my retired parents have finally bought the car they've been wanting for years and have saved so much up for.
- Discovering that Astrid Kircherr is still alive (pictured to the left). She was engaged to Stuart Sutcliff, who originally played bass with The Beatles, I always found her to be such a cool figure.
- Attempting to learn to knit and not totally failing!
- Hiking up Lynn Canyon with the boyfriend, discovering secret tunnels, walking in the freezing water, watching crazy Australians cliff jumping into said freezing water (to do when it's warmer), getting horribly lost and somehow ending up in a dog park, discovering flowers that look like they're from Mars, juuuuuust missing the bus home (and consequently eating at A&W ruining all callories burnt during the hike).
That was the awesomness of this week! Hopefully next week will be just as spectacular! If you had a particularly awesome moment this week, leave it in the comments!
Till the next post, keep on smiling!
