memories in a jar

When Elaine of Montessorimum posted this in her Facebook, I decided to give this a try.

Write notes on good things that have happened to you from 1st January onwards and keep the notes in a jar.  Open it up on 31st December to read all the wonderful memories throughout the whole year.   I think that is pretty cool 🙂

This is my tin can which I am going to keep all the notes.  It is a recycled tin can.

Some of the notes I have written.

Can’t wait till 31st December 2013 to read all of them 🙂   Would you like to do one too?

    Well done…I believe it will be fun to read back about all the good things that had happened be it at month end or year end. Happy moments that we have forgotten. 😀

    11 days after New Year, and you have written quite a few of happy notes. Great start, barb! Happy Weekend to you.
