Somewhere during the holidays, I read about Happy Jars.
The concept is simple: at the end of each day, write down on a piece of paper something which made the day special. On December 31, you read through those papers, reliving the special memories.
So before the end of 2024, I went and got different colored paper and a jar. So far, I’ve been able to keep up and realize all the little things which made my day. I’ve had a brunch with friends, puzzle game day, finding an amazing desert at a restaurant, little things which brought a smile to my face.
To make this project even more fun, I found fun stickers to decorate my jar. I chose a pink theme of flowers and cats, two things which make me happy on a normal day. So between the accumulating stickers and different colored notes, the jar also takes on a decorative role on my white shelves in my craft room.
There is an underlining aspect of wellness as well, making you realize how things don’t always look so gloomy.
Now the real challenge, ensuring I don’t skip a day!
