And So 2014 Begins.. With a Grateful Jar!

As I said farewell to 2013, surrounded by friends and enjoying the holidays, I listened to a lot of people say 2013 was a bad year and they were glad to see the back of it.  I wasn't one of those people because as far as years go, it was an okay one.  Not overly great but definitely not a bad one.

I have much to be thankful for..

What I am going to do in 2014 is create a "Grateful" jar.  I didn't think up this idea on my own, I saw it on a social media site and loved the idea..
 My grateful jar will sit in the kitchen and the idea is every time something happens that I am grateful for, I write it on a postit note and pop it in the jar, with the date on it.  Next NYE I will sit down and open it and read through all the great things that happened to me in 2014.  Sometimes the enormity of the not so great things consume us, if I write down the good things it will act as a reminder of what happened in 2014.

So happy New Year everyone, albeit a week or so late..
