The Awesome Jar

Saw this idea on Facebook & it is such a positive thought I would like to share.  I cannot say who it originally came from; but I don't they will mind it being shared with others.

You take a jar, any jar plain or fancy.  You can leave it plain & use colorful paper, or decorate it in a special way.  Now comes the special part.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Start the year with an empty jar and fill it with notes about good things that happen. Then, on New Year’s Eve, empty it and see what awesome stuff happened that year. I think it’ll be a good way for me to keep stuff in perspective.” (you can start right now or anytime)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We don’t have to look for the negative, that pops up easily. So to keep my focus on positive things I am going to begin this now. There is just so much negative in the world, it is always in my face.
I am going to focus on good, look for the good in my life & the lives that surround me, close off the negative thoughts, words, & actions. Why would I want to even repeat anything negative, why would I want those thoughts stirring in my head, good is so much healthier & then the negative thoughts & people don’t win.
I am blessed in so many many ways, God is so good to both Eddie & I, so it is time to keep the positive in the lead!!!!!

You make the difference!!

Today I will share 5 Lessons in Life
from Dr. Seuss

1. Today you are you, that is truer than true.
There is noone alive that is youer than you!!

2. Why fit in when you were born to stand out??

3. You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself any direction you choose.

4. Be who you are & say what you feel,
because those who mind don't matter, & 
those who matter don't mind.

5. Today I shall behave,
as if this is the day I will be remembered.

For a fun fellow, he was so simply wise!!!
You left us quite a legacy, Dr. Seuss~~~
