I Am Awesome! How About You?

I think we need to learn to celebrate our awesomeness! Those moments when we find ourselves being, well, awesome.

I just had one.

We had some new friends over this afternoon and I decided to bake brownies. But I didn’t taste a brownie before I served them (wheat allergies). Everyone ate them and seemed to enjoy…or so I thought.

In an effort to be kind, I packed up the remaining brownies, handed them to the four-year-old daughter and asked, “Do you want to take these with you?”

The most adorable little girl nodded yes!

I was awesome.

Until Leif looked at me with the what-are-you-doing-glance?

After our new friends drove away, Leif explained that the brownies tasted like bricks. Dry as the desert. Hard as a stone. Everyone was gracious, including the young boy who announced, “Look mom! They don’t even soften in milk!”

Somehow I missed that. And I sent rock hard brownies home with guests.

Yep. I’m awesome.

How about you?
