Something I saw on tele (or maybe Pintrest) a few weeks ago was the idea of having a memory jar.
You may be sitting there thinking what is a memory jar, or some of you may know exactly what I mean by a memory jar.
Well as I have found out over the last few years, the older I seem to get (even though I am not really that old at the moment), the more quickly each year seems to go by. When one year comes to an end and another year quickly creeps up on us, we tend to reflect on what has been and think forward to what lies ahead.
In my moments of reflecting on what has happened during a year, I realise I focus on the big things and tend to forget all the small things that have happened - all the little blessings that have come our way during the course of the year.
Well I ended up stumbling upon my solution to this problem a few weeks ago - A MEMORY JAR!
Basically the idea of a memory jar is to write down on paper, all the memories you create (and want to remember) during a certain period of time. These can be positive, negative, life changing etc. Then as it comes to that time of the year when you want to start reflecting on what has happened, you turn to your MEMORY JAR and open this fantastic jar of surprises and begin to remember how blessed, loved and appreciated you are. Apparently one of the best times to open your Memory Jar is on New Years Eve but is only some people's opinions.
Right, now that I have posted about this magnificent idea, time to go and create our very first Feldon Memory Jar....
