Happy New Year for 2020
For the past few years I have made a gratitude jar, basically the same old coffee tin covered in gaffa tape with a pen and some old cut up scrapbook papers inserted. Hubby and I try a couple times a week to fill in one of these small scraps of paper with something nice that happened, it may be meeting up with friends, a joke we heard or a gig-either way just something we are grateful for.
We then add it to the tin and in the new year we sit down and go through all of them and read them out loud-a year of small things to be grateful for in the past year.
It costs me nothing to do and only takes a minute a week but New Years Day brings such a warm glow remembering some of the lovely things that we did, heard or saw during the past 365 days and it gives hope for the next 365 days.
I hope you all have something, no matter how small to be grateful for and helps you raise a smile too, here is to 2020 and whatever it may bring.

That's such a lovely idea. I might have to steal it x
ReplyDeleteBeen doing it for a few years Carmen, free and only takes a few minutes but it is a lovely reminder at the end of the year
