Some time in 2012, I stopped writing in my journal/diary as it became too time consuming. I started thinking of alternative ways that I could keep a record of memories from the whole year and came up with this: "Jar of Good Things That Happened in..." I took a glass coffee jar that was going to be recycled and stuck a little label on the front. I wanted to keep the jar within sight in my bedroom so that I would never forget about it, so I placed this little charm bracelet over the top of it to make it look a little more decorative.
Since January 1st 2013, I have written notes on memories that I have experienced onto scrap pieces of paper and placed them in this small glass jar. On New Year's Day I decided to open them all up and re-live some of my best memories of the year of 2013. It was so nice to remember some of the things that I have accomplished and conquered!
There is now a huge pile of notes on my bedroom floor! I never realised how many notes I had actually written for this jar, but I loved being able to look through them all again! Here are some of my 2013 highlights as written on my notes...
1. I passed my driving test in early January last year!
2. I booked my first holiday abroad without my parents!
3. During the Perseid Meteor Shower, me and my dad saw eight shooting stars! (I can tick that off my bucket list now)
4. At college, I was nominated for (and won!!!) the Design Student of the Year award!
5. Me and Jack celebrated our four year anniversary together <3
I would whole heartedly recommend doing this! It isn't too late either, just grab yourself a jar, box or any other type of container and get scribbling. It's so heart warming and lovely to read through memories from the year just gone.
Happy Sunday, guys!
