The Jar

I read about this on Pinterest a month or so ago, then the other day on Facebook, then yesterday a woman in the office was talking about it.


I decided to do it after reading about it on Pinterest. My jar is ready and I am waiting.




To fill it with my marbles I seem to keep losing? No….






To fill with some sweets I can't seem to get enough of? No….






Now you are probably scratching your head wondering what I am into now. Well I think it is called a memory jar; at least that is what I am calling it. It is where you take an empty jar and fill it through the year with pieces of paper that has "good" things written on it.
But it can't be just any ole good things....
This is how it works~

At the end of a given year we will usually catch ourselves saying, "hope next year is better; this was a rough year; next year can't be any worse than this one was….etc". But we have a hard time remembering the good things from that year and the older I get the worse that becomes so this year I will have a jar, my pen and my paper and when that good thing happens, I will write it down and put it in the jar. At the end of this year, 2013 I will go through those MEMORIES and recount all the good things that happened through the year and hopefully help to push any bad things out of the way!








Here's hoping for a better New Year.

Happy New Year to all.
Thanks for stopping in and please come again,
Pam

The Rest of Today

After my trip to town today,  visit with the doc, stopping  and picking up breakfast I  headed home.  I had dropped Dakota off at mom's for the day. He was going  to spend the day  playing with Klohe and Cheyenne. While he was hanging at mom's Lily and I chilled all day.  So much to do but I can't seem to get it in gear. Later....I had an apt for a hair cut. But I left out early to stop  at the  Mystic Heart. I picked up some healing stones there.  Entering the store I read this sign... haha Then while in there I saw this sign. From there I headed to see  Kelley, my hair stylist. This is what I was shooting for. Course, it will look different on  me due to hair color and  texture of hair.  I am good with it. I got to Heads Up a bit early  so Kelley still had a young boy she was working on and his dad after h...

Swollen Hand and Leipers Fork

Wasp sting update~ I made an apt to go  to Fast Pace on Sunday, then canceled.  I wanted to give it one  more day. I did ice  off and on all day and  did Benadryl cream, Sunday night, swelling  is going down. This was Sunday  morning. This in is this  morning. Never been so happy to  see my ugly veins before! YAY L eipers Fork, TN. Cool little place about 30 mins from the house. I have been here, years ago but the other day, I wanted to get out, so I picked  Leiper's Fork.  Of course, since I love old  cars I had to stop and take pics of this one. Then off I went,  camera around my neck and ready for pics. This is one of the local  gallery.  Isn't that yellow door cute? Cool door with all the  details on it. I also love the old door knobs on these old doors. I thought this would  stand out in a pic as B&W. Again, the detail, down to  the very knob itself. This is a store in the mist of about ei...
