I've been thinking about doing something like this for the past month or so, wanting some kind of lasting physical embodiment of the warm fuzzies that flit through our days. But I've been slow to make it happen, so your post's timeliness made me laugh. Okay, I'm on it! And thank you for your positive spirit and generous, sharing nature. You put such good stuff out here, Becky, I hope you feel all of the warmth and appreciation that your online community sends back! Your post was such a good motivator, Becky!

Very simple and very powerful. They seemed so intertwined it is almost impossible to do one without the other. Thank you for the beautiful reminder and I love the creative way you have engaged with Gratitude. Reminds me of a spiritual tradition I had forgotten based on Surrender, Trust and Gratitude.

Maybe my own expression of gratitude boils down to this metaphor -- the cup, as I see it, is neither half full nor half empty but always a little of both. Some days the focus in the news on things that sadden and anger me, coupled with my own trials and tribulations, can put me in a grumpy mood. Other days it's the joy and gratitude for the simple gift of being alive and present to every moment that take over. So maybe the celebration of gratitude is feeling the full spaciousness of what I get from friends, family, and a brisk walk on an autumn day. I love the idea of your Happiness Jar.
