This past year one of my goals was to keep a jar of happy moments. At the end of each week or two I would think back on everything that had happened and write a few moments down and then continue on with my life. As the jar got more and more full of pretty pieces of paper my desire to keep adding increased.
On December 31st I dumped my jar out and shared the moments with my little sister as we took turns reading them off to each other. So many answers to prayers, funny quotes my friends had said, little moments of quiet bliss, as well as moments of insane adventure were on those slips of paper. Every one of them reminding me of how truly blessed I have been this year.
I’m thankful to find fun ways to count my blessings and the opportunity become more thankful each day for the wonderful people I have surrounding me.
