Hey we are INTO August! WOW! And we are at our Friday Check-In. So? How is it going? I have a lot of Good Things to add to my Goodie Jar.
I have one thing I should put in my jar because every time I use it I am so very grateful. I love showers. They are one of the best privileges on earth . . . I think. I need to put that in my goodie jar. I think they are damn good things. Aside from that I had some good things go in that jar this week.
One of the good things I had happen this week was something amazing by my Nia Students at the community center where I teach on Tuesdays. I shared this on Facebook, but I will share it here too. After class one of my students mentioned to me that the class that was being held on Thursday mornings was being cancelled so she asked if I would want to teach Nia in that time slot. I said yes. So she asked how to get it as a class. I told her she needed to talk to the person in charge of the classes at that San Jose City community center. I told her to write a note for her or send her an e-mail. She wrote a note and had the students sign it. I thought that was so cute. She said she thought it would prove that the students really wanted an additional Nia class to be on Thursdays if they all signed it.
Before I got home the person in charge of the classes at the community center called me to let me know we can give it a go! So awesome. This is definitely a good thing for my jar!
How about you? Do you have good things to add? Well, here is your reminder . . . ADD THEM!
Cheers! Have a GREAT weekend!

Wow! This week when really fast for me. Could be because I was spending a lot of time caring for a sick cat. There is a lot of time involved in litter box duty! But . . . . even though that is going on there are still good things I can write down and put in my goodie jar. That is what is so great about having a good things jar. Even if only for the moment you are writing it down you are thinking of the good thing you still have thought of it.
I think about the good things a lot more than when I am writing it down, but the goodie jar sometimes helps me think of additional good things.
As I do every week, I hope you have good things to put in your Goodie Jar!

Wow! What a week. How was yours? I had a couple more classes than usual, which is always nice. I had to take our cat to the vet which is never nice and was particularly not nice this time. Poor kitty.
Tomorrow is a Nia Jam. That is always fun. You should come join us.
There are good things to be noted going in my jar. How about you? What do you have going in your jar this week?

Well, I would think for a lot of people just that fact that it is Friday is a good thing. Not that you would put that in your Goodie Jar every week, but when you are having a tough time coming up with something, I bet a good thing revolving around the fact that it is Friday can be noted.
I have to parties to go to this weekend. Hmmm . . . I guess I can put that in even though they have not happened yet. I am sure there will be a good thing to add to the jar after each party. Fun stuff.
How about you? Might you have some fun weekend plans that can go into your Good Things Jar?

Friday – Goodie Jar – Check In Day! Not that it is an indication of a “bad” week, but I am gonna say it has been a long week. Always strikes me as odd how time is constant, but sometimes time seems longer or shorter. This week is the same amount of days, hours, minutes, and seconds as last week, but I keep thinking things I did on Monday happened a few Mondays ago. I keep having to remind myself that it was just this past Monday that I ____________ (fill in the blank).
It has been a good week, maybe it has just been full of stuff? So how about you?
Are you filling that Goodie Jar full of Good things?

This is the 22nd Goodie Jar check in. I forgot to post a check in post last week. So IF I had remembered this would actually be the 23rd check in since we started with a Good Things Jar, but since I forgot, this is 22!
How about a share?
This week it was really, really, really hot for our area. I do not like heat at all. I just melt. So while I in no way consider the heat a good thing, I do feel very blessed and consider the fact that we did not lose our electricity at all — a very good thing. Seems that in the last few heat waves we have had our power has been cut or we have had “brown outs”. So that fact that we have been able to have fans on through out the heat wave was fantastic! I put that in my jar.
I had an extra fabulous Nia Class on Tuesday. It is always nice when students contact you after class to comment on their experience.
I had a fun time at the annual 4th of July party. The hostess always does a great job with the food and this year was really good. It was a small crowd so it makes for a more intimate evening where you actually get to have longer conversations than when you are busy trying to jump from person to person to make sure you get in at least a quick visit.
Time off with hubby is always a nice thing to add to the jar.
And for last week at least one good thing I added was a wedding. Fun stuff! These are photos from the photo booth at the wedding.
So what are the good things you’ve added to your good things jar in the past two weeks?

Goodie Jar check in day! How is it going for you?
I just got back from teaching a Nia class in Santa Cruz. The space that the class is held is so lovely. I wish I could teach there all the time. And as I was teaching I noticed a spot in the floor that was a little different from the rest and it called my attention to the wonderful floor.
It is a wonderful floor and I know this, but that particular spot made me aware AT THAT MOMENT that the floor is heaven. Not all dance floors are made the same and this one at the Tannery is FABULOUS. I was so happy I was available to teach at the last minute (sort of) for the regular teacher who found herself needing to rest.
Then on the way home I got an over due haircut. It might be a tad short. You know how it is difficult to tell sometimes what is up until you “do” your hair yourself. So we will see. But either way it will grow.
So that is my Goodie Jar – Check in #21 Friday, how about you? What are you doing today? Anything that you can add to your good thing jar?

So this week has been an easy one to have good things to put in the jar. The biggest thing, of course, is the visit from my niece. She was here all week long and as she mentioned last night, it went pretty fast. I had been so nervous she would be bored, but she is pretty easy going and mellow so we managed fine.
She came with me to all my Nia classes and she even participated. We made candles at Glow in Willow Glen and spent one morning delivering lunch to my hubby. It was a nice week. Short.
Our weather in San Jose has been FANTASTIC — all week long. Nothing beats the weather in the San Francisco Bay Area, especially in the South Bay. It is awesome.
As I am typing I keep thinking of Good Things to put in my goodie jar. Ha! Maybe that is another way to help think of good things. Start writing about your week and see what comes up. I bet there will be at least ONE good thing!
So how many things were you able to put in your Good Things Jar this week?

Goodie Jar – Check In #19 Hellooooo . . . . anybody there?
I’m still working on my jar. I think I might not need to empty it to make it last the year. I have so many different sized papers I bet the whole will fit. It is a big pitcher! Even if I have a lot of good things.
I hope that even if you aren’t commenting, that you are still thinking of good things that are happening in your life and making a note somewhere!
Cheers!

It is the end of May. Wow! May 31, 2013. I am still adding to my Goodie Jar. It has a lot of good stuff in it. Good things. I can’t wait to read it. I am excited. I am still using different colored paper and some prints even.
I hope that you are blessed and able to put some good things in your jar.
How is it going? Is your jar filling up?
