Thankful Jar.

On Thanksgiving this year I decided that I really needed to see what I was thankful for. I came up with this idea; get a jar, in my case it was on old, plastic trail mix container, and every year get sheet of paper. With every sheet of paper, write the date, mostly just to be sure you know what year it was from, and fill at least one side of the paper with things you are thankful for. I wrote everything from Dad still having a job all the way to the fact that I didn't have a solo in my band's Christmas concert. 

I plan to do this next year too, and for many more years. I plan on looking at this years' paper next year and then looking at them every three-five years to see how the things I'm thankful for change over the years. And whatever you do be sure that you put the year on the slip of paper so you can look at previous years' lists if you want to!
