A Good Idea...

Zoe suggested that we collect awesome things that we do/experience throughout 2013 and put them in a jar to be opened New Years 2014. I thought this was the greatest idea. We grabbed two mason jars, got a collection of scrap papers and put them in an obvious place to (hopefully) remind us to keep it up for the year.
We got pretty excited as we did this and wrote our first 'awesome' thing of 2013. I got a little giddy thinking of all the amazing things that this year could bring. Ah, the possibilities are endless! If I think of all the stuff that has happened in 2012 I can't imagine what 2013 will be like.
I think this jar is also a great reminder to find good things in any situation and be grateful for those moments of joy, amidst the craziness of our lives.
It's not too late (it never is) to start a jar for yourself or family. It will be pretty neat to see what your year looked like condensed into awesome moments come 2014.
