HAPPINESS JARS!
For those of you who are newcomers to this page, I thought I would re-post the origins of the Happiness Jar…this is a practice I've had for a long time and I've been delighted to see people taking it up all over the world. If you make one for yourself, by all means send us a photo!
Cheers,

JAR OF HAPPINESS. I made a vow to myself years ago that every night I would write down the happiest moment of my day and save it forever. I did this for a long time. This photo is my most recent JAR OF HAPPINESS, loyally filled with little scraps of old bills and junk mail, with the best moment of each day scrawled on the backs. For some reason, over the last year, I have let the practice go—not because I've been sad (even in a sad day, after all, there is always one least-crappy moment) but because I've been too busy. Too busy to take 10 seconds every night to preserve the simplest and happiest moments of my life? ENOUGH! Time to start stuffing the jar with joy again! I'm beginning again today. Who's with me?
