Start Your Own "Good Things" Jar in 2015

Last year I ate a jar full of gerkins, rinsed out the vinegar and washed it thoroughly. I put the jar away thinking I would need it one day for something. Sometime in early January (after I came home from spending NYE in Dubai) I  grabbed a Sharpie and wrote three words on the lid. I placed it on my desk and forgot about it...

Until something good happened.

When we went to a concert we loved, I tucked the ticket into the jar.

When I got ten 5 star Amazon reviews for Shy Feet I scribbled the date and this fact on a scrap of paper and shoved it in the jar.

When we popped open a bottle of bubbly to celebrate something, I wrote the reason on the cork and put it in the jar.

Our ski passes from the Italian Dolomites, our festival wristbands for Altitude Comedy Festival, a business card for a restaurant I went to with my parents here in Amsterdam. They're all in the jar.

And these are just the ones I remember.

Tomorrow night, over a dinner I will cook and a glass of something fizzy, NewMan and I will open up the jar and go through all of our "Good Things" from 2014.

Then I will change 2014 to 2015 and on 1st January I will start all over again.

I highly recommend doing it yourself if you're looking for an easy way to remember happy days in 2015.
