Everything is not Awesome, despite what the earworming song from the Lego movie tells us. It’s become the go-to word. I’m not anti-awesome at all, but I find myself writing it and saying it far too much (yes, I’ve become a little Americanized) so I thought I’d make a list of other words we can all use instead. Let’s save ‘awesome’ for the things that really are – otherwise we diminish the meaning. My notebook now has it’s own instagram account where you can see my strange thoughts and little drawings – you’ll find it under Aileensnotebook.  I’d love it if you followed it – I can share more on there than I can here.
