Comic 22: 1000 Awesome Things

Neil Pasricha’s divorce and loss of a dear friend lead him to do what anyone in that predicament would do: start a blog.

His blog, called 1000 Awesome Things, is a tribute to all of the little things in life that (should) make us happy. Some of my favorites include #342 [Finding good reading materials in someone else's bathroom], #365 [Getting dressed out of the dryer or laundry basket], and #536 [When you're being chased by zombies and suddenly find a stash of guns and ammo].

This blog made me very happy, as did his inspiring TED talk (which has a moment where he has his parents stand up to just thank them for everything – add that to the awesome list).

I wonder whether successful marriages rely on a shared appreciation of the same types of little things. This week’s comic is about whether expressing that shared appreciation matters.
