Gratitude Jar...I Like This Idea :)

[Babysteppin 165]

I just saw this idea in a post on FB, and thought it was a great idea for 2013. For me, I'm going to call it a Gratitude Jar -- and I think it'll be amazing to start putting thoughts in it now...and then look at everything a year from now once I'm hopefully sleeved and down a whole lot of pounds! Just wanted to share

Starting January 1st, write down good things that happen to you on little bits of paper and put them in a jar. Things such as:

- surprise gifts

- accomplished goals

- the beauty of nature

- "LOL" moments

- memories worth saving

- daily blessings that come your way

Then...on December 31st, open the jar and read all the amazing things that happened to you in 2013! We often lose sight of all the 'little' wins in life...Well, not this year because they'll sure add up!

Cool idea! Especially for me bc I forget all the funny things my kids say.

I know, the jar would be a total memory maker! Great things to look at on a rainy day too

I saw that on FB too....I want to buy jars and and give them to my friends for a New Year's gift.

Like GeauxForIt said, you forget so many great and funny things that your kids said and did.
