I don't know who originally started this idea but what a great idea to write down what you are grateful for and I am not talking about the big things but the small things that sometimes we forget and what a great reminder it will be to recall 12 months later.

I started my Gratitude Jar using a Jacobs coffee jar and went 1 step further to decorate it with clear 'Thank You' stickers and went a bit overboard and did all 4 sides. Just makes all the difference....don't you think?
I decided to include my 'To Do List' for 2013 and for now it's very short with only 4 entries and happy to say 1 is ticked off already. It's been on my 'To Do List' forever and a day and not my choice but my circumstances and although it took forever to happen....I am happy I can tick it off.
I encourage you to start your own Gratitude Jar (or whatever you wish to call it) and if it is everyday, once a week or once a month you fill the jar....so be it.
Baby steps....
Hugs & Kisses

ReplyDeleteLast year I kept a diary - just of daily doings. There were big gaps where I got lazy and didnt write for weeks at a time but mostly I kept it up. on the 31 Dec I went thru it and wrote down the things that stood out as Hi-lites of 2012 - I couldnt believe how long my list of hi-lites was! 2012 was a good year for me! I wouldnt have remembered half the things if I hadnt written them down!
this jar is an easier way of doing it tho.
That's great Angella,I don't do well keeping an diary myself so this jar will do great...yes...and keeping a blog I am sure and not just for the good/bad things but also tips/ideas one has learnt and can't remember the site or the idea...lol Thank goodness for Pinterest as well. All to help us as we get older...lol
