"Start on January 1st with an empty jar. Throughout the year write the good things that happened to you on little pieces of paper. On December 31st, open the jar and read all the amazing things that happened to you that year."

—————————————————————————————

This is what I’m doing this year. I have a pretty big canister that I’m going to use, and I’m hoping to record at least one happy memory every week. I’d love to try every day, but it’s an unreasonable thing for me to promise myself. Once a week is plenty, but more would be perfect. I already know some great things I can add to the jar that are happening after the 1st, and I’m really looking forward to this upcoming year! I’ll try to capture as many memories as I can on here as well, but getting them written down and into the jar is first priority.
