It's International Day of Awesomeness: Awesome!

When it comes to awesome holidays, March 10th takes the cake! It's International Day of Awesomeness.

It all started when intern Freddie Maneiro suggested that Kevin Lawver was so darn awesome, it should be celebrated. Lawyer liked the idea and posted the following tweet on Twitter back in 2007.

"I think it's time to push for a National Day of Awesomeness. Who's with me?"

What began as an annual holiday, became an international event. And speaking of awesomeness - March 10 also happens to be an awesome action-film movie star's birthday. (Hint - born Carlos Ray Norris, his nickname is Ground Chuck.)

Get Your Awesome On!

Despite a sour economy, high unemployment and the stresses of everyday life, why not take a minute out of your busy day and stop and smell the roses? Whether it's a small step or a giant leap, today is the perfect day to visit that special place you've always wanted to see or try something spectacular you've always wanted to do. Life is short - don't waste it! And while you're at it, don't forget to celebrate you and all your awesomeness.

No matter how tough life gets, remember to appreciate the special people in your life, count your blessings and enjoy the ride. Life really is awesome, compared to the alternative!
