This is a great idea! This was shared with me on Facebook, and I liked it so much that I made my own jar. So often we are tempted to forget all the “good stuff” that happens to us daily and remember only the bad. This jar will help to remind us of all those wonderful things that we experience throughout the year. Here is how to make a jar of your own.
1. Find a jar or can with a lid.
2. Decorate it and personalize it.
3. Keep the jar in a place where you will see it.
4. You may wish to put some small pieces of paper and a pen by the jar. (I keep a post-it pad by my jar.)
5. Write down those “Good” moments!
6. Open the jar on New Year’s Eve 2013 and experience all those “Good Stuff” times all over again.
7. Enjoy!

Great idea !! Any way we can find to remember the good things and be grateful is a wonderful thing !!
So true!
A great idea. Now when I have my “senior moments” all I need do is look in the jar and be refreshed. (smile)
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
Lol! Another purpose I had not thought of Francine.
I saw it too on my Facebook and I thought it was a good idea. So many things happen in a year, it will be good to remember and appreciate them.
I agree. I hope I chose a large enough jar. Lol
I have a something similar but I call it my Gratitude Jar ….I try to add at least one note each day 🙂
It really is a great idea. So much better to focus on the positives of life. I don’t think most of us realize all the good we have in our lives.
…and, have you noticed that when you concentrate on the good, somehow you seem to have even MORE good, and less bad?
Great Idea… Thanks for sharing!
You are welcome. I found it on Facebook.
I have started one as well. I love this idea.
It will be fun to see what goodies go into the jar. Enjoy.
Great idea. Kind of an interactive gratitude journal. 🙂
Yes. That is a good description.
This is a really cool idea. I’m going to find my empty pickle jar this afternoon. Thanks for a great New Year’s idea!!
Great Idea….Diane
Brilliant idea! How quickly we forget all those ‘good things’ and New Years Eve is the perfect time to open it 🙂
