Something I'd call Awesome

Awesome... I chew the word between my teeth
letting it slide across my tongue
absorbing its texture and weight.

What is Awesome? A word that can apply to so many things

The support of my community
The love of my family
Enjoying a weekend night with friends
The simple pleasure of an afternoon nap
The final question on a test
Drifting off to sleep with a smile hanging on my lips
Planning for the future
and then ignoring that plan
The heat of a pet asleep in your lap
Finding that one teacher who changes your view on life
A really, really good slice of pizza
Taking a towel out of the dryer while it's still warm
My favorite TV show
Spending hours on the edge of my sisters bed giggling in hushed tones
Meeting new people
A birthday card in the mail from my dentist
The first day of school
A fresh coat of paint
The street smelling like fireplace
The last day of school
A crisp book that gets softer as you read it
Finding a new passion
Sitting down and realizing your entire life can be defined with one word
Awesome
