An awesome idea!

I do not feel we need a jar but the mind set to pick the good things that happen to us and that way our mind is well trained to live in the attitude of gratitude. What more can one ask for?

Wow, thank you for sharing this because I think it's a truly excellent idea. It's important to remain positive and remember that even in the worst of days it is possible to sift through and find something positive. I think I am going to put my own twist on this and incorporate my partner--everyday we could write something nice that the other did for us, or said, or something we appreciate about them. Then, come next year, it will be a beautiful reflection of our year together. Thanks for this!

This is a very good idea. It seems so many focus on the bad things that happen when the good things are far more important. Just think how much joy it will bring reading all those good things at the end of the year. You are right. This will generate happiness.

OMG I love this idea. I didn't see it on facebook but I'm so happy you shared this idea with us here at mylot. I'm so doing it. Starting Tuesday I will be writing each day what I was gratiful for that day. I'm also going to pass this on to my daughters to do and even my granddaughter and my sister. How inspiring especially when you read them back at the end of the year.

I love this idea. It's very creative and helps you to focus on all the positives in your life. You are right, it is an excellent way to be grateful. Living in gratitude is one of the best ways to attract happiness into your life. Thank you for sharing this, I think I'll do this as well. We can compare notes at the end of the year. Thank you so much for sharing this excellent idea.

I think it is important to focus on the positive. That sounds like an excellent idea. My mum used to sing the song; "Count your Blessings, one by one" whenever my siblings and I would complain. We do indeed get back what we put in. That is why I encourage people to do charity work or volunteer. It does come back to you. I remember when I my husband was very sick and we could not pay our utility bill. The only person I could think of to call was my church's secretary. She had the authority to give to those in need a voucher for utility bills. It just so happened that there was enough in the church's funds for my utility bill. She had to turn down other people asking for a voucher for their utility bill. But the secretary told me that she was going to give to me first because she appreciated that I did volunteer work, even when times were difficult for me. When you give, you receive back. My suggestion is to put in ways that you gave or helped others and then the good things that happened to you. Because you give, it will multiply into greater blessings.

that really seems to be a creative visualization and wonderful idea to pin it along with pinterest andd for sure it looks very imaginative also,i prefer it

I'm happy to hear that you are going to do this. It is such a great idea. I agree with you that it is best for us to think about the good. It only causes us to be depressed when we overly think about the bad. There is a lot of good that happens in our life and that is what we need to focus on.

Wow,it is really a good idea,we should all remember the good things happen to our life and with gratitude. But why not we replace the mason jar with one of our private e-mail?I think it is more easy for us to handle and we never lose them.

Sounds a very good idea to me. Well I ain't got time for that stuff, while I try to jot down good memories from past, I would miss nice memories from present. So it is better for me to just go on. Well if i do that I could end up being more calm and nice to people as I have just good stuff to me. Good luck and happy new year!

I think Facebook is a great place to share ideas and thoughts. It is a good thing to remember our good things in life because in this way we have more positive attitude towards life. But think for one moment and I think if you share more , you get more. So it is a good idea to share even your saddest moments with people. In this way you can be confident about yourself in coming days.
