#TodaysAwesome

A few year’s ago I used #TodaysAwesome in my Facebook Page. It was to remind me, and those that follow me that there is something awesome in every day. Sometimes we just have to look a little harder.

This morning I realized that I had not been using that hashtag ever since life took a little wind out of my sails (OK, it took a lot of wind, but you know what I mean).

I started this blog to write about my cancer journey, and over the past two years, it morphed into several things along the way.

When it comes right down to it there are lots of blogs about cancer. And yes, I do consider myself an expert at least about my cancer and my husband’s cancer. The last year I have touched on grief which, unfortunately, I have become an expert on my own personal grief as well.

But my original intention (even when it was the story of my cancer) was to be an encourager. To encourage those that have cancer to live life to the fullest. To not let cancer beat them, at least mentally.

That is half the reason the blog is called BuiltaLife (yes, my last name is Builta), but beyond that, I did not want to sit back and let life happen to me. I wanted to build a life that would show those around me that cancer is not going to win.

So today I am making it my goal to get back to looking for the Awesome in the Ordinary. To find that little glimmer of sunshine and to remind myself every day there is something awesome all around us if we just look for it.

Where did you see Awesome today?
