At the end of 2012, there was this idea that was spreading around the internet where you take a jar, and every day you write something good that happened to you, a quote, a happy thought, a song lyric or anything you felt you wanted to remember from that day.
I loved this idea so much so I got a jar and on January 1st, 2013, I wrote my first 'happy thought.' Of course, five days later, all was forgotten and by the time I knew it, it was December 31st, 2013 and I only had about six entries in my jar.
So, I decided that 2014 would be the year that I went through with the 'happy thought jar'. So far, it's January 30th and I have 30 entries in my jar. Yay!
This is what my jar looks like!
First, I took an old candle jar and peeled the label off. Then, I took an index card, flipped it onto the solid side and with nail polish, designed it how I wanted it. Then I taped it on the inside of the jar, and voila! My '2014 jar!'
I use colourful sticky notes to write my thoughts on and I just fold the stick part over so that they don't get stuck together inside the jar. I also date the notes so I'll know what day it was when I go back and read them.
Hopefully I can stick it out and have 365 notes in my jar!
Take the challenge with me!
