It's New Years Eve and we'll be heading down to Texas soon. Right now we have company, our daughter and her family came for a quick visit before we head down. It's so nice to see them even if it's for a short visit.
Where did 2012 go? Did it go just as fast for the rest of you?
I don't do resolutions, resolutions just set me up for failure.
What I'm going to do is to live my life as best as I know how.
I found this really neat idea on facebook and thought I would share it with you all.
It has to do with the jar in the photo above. Tomorrow, January 1st you start with an empty jar, I picked a blue mason jar. I/we will fill this blue mason jar with little slips of paper, and written on those little slips of paper will be all the good things that have happened to me/us in the coming year. So, each time something good happens we'll write it on a little slip of paper and put it in our blue jar. Then on New Years Eve 2013 we'll open the jar and read and reflect on all the good awesome stuff that happened in the year.
So, our blue jar will be traveling down to Texas with us.
I wish each and every one of you a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year!!!
Very happy new year Judy - to you and yours!
Regards from snowy, white Finland!

I have seen this idea for both good things and for accomplishments. I will be doing it too. I'm very impressed with this photo - the lighting is beautiful.
Happy New Year!

Great idea. It reminds me in a way of a book I have called Simple Abundance: A day book of comfort and joy.

Happy New year to you and your family Judy. Enjoy your time in Texas :)
I've also seen that jar idea floating around, I think I'll make one but write down something every day, something that I feel blessed about or something good that happened.
