Positive Thoughts

I heard an idea to put a positive thought/gratitude note in a jar each day
Then collect them all year long, gathering thoughts along the way
Then read them all in celebration sometime on New Year’s Eve
It’s never too late to start and is fun to try along life’s paths we weave!

This IS a GREAT idea. I'm gonna do it! --- And it may even lead to a poem or two, as well. Thanks a zillion, Heidi! Warmest wishes, Gershon

Thank you Gershon! I have actually been doing it most of the year, daily. I just missed a period of time, but look forward to reading them. I am happy that you will try it too. I hope you enjoy it! :)

This was a marvelous idea for me when my daughter died. It helped me to keep my focus in the here and now. When I read them a year later I realized how far I had from come the depths of despair. It is a way of teaching us about ourselves. Thank you for the reminder.
