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!
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?
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!
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.
Still adding to my good things jar. Et tu? Recently I received a card from a friend and she put stickers on the envelope. Yes, even in our 40s we are putting stickers on envelopes! LOVE IT! Often times I peel the stickers off and stick them on something else so I get to enjoy them long after the envelope is thrown away. This time I decided to cut them out and put them in my goodie jar.
Yes to me it was a good (actually GREAT) thing that my friend sent me a card. And I love the extra added joy of stickers so I just cut them out to be added to my jar! When my hubby and I go through the jar at the end of the year I will pull the stickers out and they are their own documentation of a good thing! It is like a double bonus. I get the joy of the sticker AND I am reminded that someone loves me and sent me a card! AWESOME!
What about you? What good things are you putting in your jar to remind you of the good things?
It’s Friday. That means a lot of things, huh? One think it means over here on Terre Pruitt’s Blog is Goodie Jar check in! Are you filling up that jar with all the good things going on in your life? Believe me, I know that some times there are things that are not good and we can let them take over our outlook, our attitudes, our lives OR we can find the good things. I really cannot deny the good even where there are not good things. Even if I have to turn to my friends to celebrate their good things . . . . there are good things!
But . . . that is my belief and how I feel about things. I think there is ALWAYS something at least one good thing about . . . so I choose to focus on that/them. And since they are good I am writing them down and putting them in a jar! I actually put at least three good things in my jar this week and only one of them was Nia related. LOL!
How are you doing? Do you have the “good thing” attitude?
Here we are — another Good Things Jar check in. We check in so we remember to put something in our jar. Life is very busy and there are a lot of things going on. Sometimes we might forget to stop and notice the good things. So that is why we have a good things jar! And that is why we have a Friday check-in!
This is like your alarm! “Hey, did you note a good thing this week? Hey, did you note a good thing this week? Hey, did you note a good thing this week? Hey, did you note a good thing this week?”
Here we are at Goodie Jar – Check In #12. I really do hope you are finding at least one good thing to note and put in your jar. Find the silver lining if that is what you must do. But there has to be something that when you look back at it, it would make you smile.It could be something as silly as a website or a meme you’ve seen on Facebook. There are so many that get passed around. You could note the URL and put it in the jar then on December 31, 2013 when you are reading all your notes you can go look it up. If it made you smile once I bet it will do it again. Here is one that makes me laugh. I had to look it up because we do a “penguin dance” in one of the Nia Routines I am doing and I was wondering what noise a penguin makes.

What do you think? Super Cute, huh? Worthy of the Good Things jar?
