I had an idea last year to find one thing everyday that I was grateful for and record it somewhere, somehow in some way. It didn't last any longer than about 3 days, partly because it was probably too elaborate and partly because I just wasn't in the right frame of mind for it.
I've seen an idea floating around the Internet for a few weeks where you write down on a slip of paper one good thing that happened everyday for a year and keep them in a jar. At the end of the year, you're supposed to go through and reread all your good things. The jar thing is cool and all but I've decided to blog it. Cuz, ya know, I already have a blog but I'd have to go out and buy a jar. So there you have it.
I'm starting with yesterday to get away from the whole "resolution" nonsense that I've never really been fond of.
So here goes:
December 31, 2012--I hate New Year's Eve and was feeling kind of shitty and missing my friends. I checked the mail and found a package containing a book and a DVD I had mentioned I wanted on Facebook. No card, no note. Just a great present that came exactly when I needed it.
January 1, 2013--I spent the day sharing a traditional Southern New Year's Day lunch with (and cooked by) one of my oldest and greatest friends while we worked on the playlist for her upcoming wedding. Today was soothing for both my heart and soul.
Done. And done.
