There’s a lot of awesomeness in the world, but very little of it gets the recognition it deserves.
Like, when was the last time you gave big ups to your orthodontist? I know that without mine I’d still have a snaggle tooth, so I’d like to say thank you, Dr. Chong, and give you a shout-out. 🙂 Thanks to you and to all of the people, places and things that make my life better.
Things like frozen broccoli, ponytail holders, two-ply toilet paper — all of you deserve a shout-out!
The idea’s catching on. Shout-outs went viral on Twitter this week (LOL!), with inspired tweeters giving props to everything from single parents, to mix tapes, Snuggies, brow waxers and Santa Claus. 
So, in the spirit of Christmas long overdue recognition, here are nine shout-outs I would like to give (in no particular order).
1. The inventor of Nutella
Despite my rapidly expanding bum, I’d like to give a shout-out to Mr. or Mrs. Nutella (YOU ROCK!). For me, your chocolaty hazelnut spread changed whole wheat toast forever. There, I said it.
But sometimes I’ll skip the toast and have it with sliced strawberries or peaches, or maybe just on a spoon all by itself (try it with a sprinkling of sea salt), YUM!
And some shout-outs segue to other ones, like this one I’d like to give to…
2. The inventor of the treadmill
I still love running outside, but the elements and I don’t always get along. Plus, my knees aren’t what they used to be, and the treadmill’s softer surface is more forgiving than pavement.
Run, Forrest! Run!
