Awesome-ness

My friend Julia turned me on to Neil Pasricha and his blog, 1000awesomethings.com.  Neil has been through a number of hardships in life (as we all have here and there) and has dedicated his life to being happy by remembering life's simple "awesome" pleasures in this world.  He has a belief that a great life can be achieved through the 3 A's of Awesomeness:  Attitude, Awareness and Authenticity.  If you've never heard of him before I encourage you to check out his TED video:


After talking with my friend Katy last week she was commenting on all of the "awesome" little things that Tom and I are experiencing living in Europe.  So, we decided that the blog should feature a weekly "Awesome Thing About Living in Europe" post.  Our goal is to post something at least once a week to share the small, simple pleasures that Tom and I love over here.  And, during those times when we might be missing home a bit more we can go back and reflect on this list.  So, we hope you'll enjoy our "bits of awesome" inspired by Neil Pasricha.

So without further ado.....

Awesome Thing About Living in Europe #1:  Strong and Delicious Coffee


This one was Tom's pick since he is a big coffee drinker.  Tom loves that no matter where he gets a cup of coffee...in a cafe, at his office, at the hotel....it is always one that is super dark and strong.  The Europeans brew it strong, and for that, Tom is grateful!
