It's Tuesday and I'm recovering from a full day of travel yesterday and a long string of late nights and not enough sleep. JD and I were exploring Chicago this weekend and it was really fun and needed, but I think I need a vacation from my vacation. Ya feel me?

Maybe some of this inspiring, fun, interesting content from around the Web will propel you towards even greater awesomeness.

5. A Dog Video That Will Stir Up Empathy and Hopefully a Few Laughs
Just for fun, watch this hilarious and slightly sad video of a Golden Retriever trying to catch all kinds of different foods in his mouth.
