I guess I always assumed I’d have an awesome life.
Now I know that “awesome” is subjective. “Awesome life” at 22 is different than “awesome life” at 32. Ten years ago, my reasons for an awesome life would have included a lot of alcohol, boys, and cute (also known as trashy) clothes. Today, I’m more Diet Mt. Dew, one specific boy, and clothes from Kohls. And I’m pretty sure they’re not trashy…
We all have our own list of what makes up a great life or a great day. Like a recipe, we’ve got just the right amount of friends, food, and adventures that make our lives awesome. And it’s these life ingredients that make the bad days bearable and the good days great.
My life is full of ingredients that make it pretty great, but if I had to narrow it down, I’d focus on these things:
An early morning jog with a friend. 
Followed by a lazy day at home. 
Just playing with my kids and lounging with my puppy. 
Followed by an early dinner with friends. 
And dessert! 
Then a date night with my baby daddy. 
What about you? What ingredients make your life or day amazing?
What about with a sandwich? What ingredients make an amazing sandwich? I would answer onions and Alpine Lace deli cheese (reduced fat Swiss, to be exact). Nothing makes a better sandwich or a greater snack than cheese. I love to cure my munchies with a cheese and cracker snack or grab a quick sandwich for lunch. And with all my half-marathon training and get-fit goals, I love that Alpine Lace comes in reduced fat so I can still enjoy cheese without the guilt.

Your post was very thoughtful and endearing, but then randomly you want me to buy cheese.
