Thankful Jar

Developing a thankful attitude can change your life and fill you with happiness. It is impossible to be sad when you have a thankful heart. Thankfulness is a choice we make. We can choose to see the blessings in our lives instead of feeling mistreated. 

Some people keep a journal of things they're thankful for each day. It's amazing to look back and see the good things. Another idea is to keep a thankful jar. Each day you write on a slip of paper what you're most thankful for that day and place it in the jar. On the next Thanksgiving Day, you take them out and read them, and then you can begin a new year of thankfulness in the jar. When you become attuned to looking for the blessings, you'll find your days get better and better. Here's hoping you have a jarful of great things and a year filled with joy!
