At the start of this year I committed to jotting down every blessing that came my way, no matter how small and tiny or huge and wonderful, on a scrap of paper and sticking it in this jar. Why? because I felt pretty miserable most of last year and "deprived" of the things God "should" be giving me... and very discontent. It is only April and just look at this jar! I need to get a bigger one! As a side note, and it really is not a side note but a strongly connected note, I have never felt happier and more blessed and full of joy... though interestingly enough I know I have WAY less this year than last year, in human standards (ie, money, belongings, boyfriend, prestige, popularity, etc.). I can attest that the act of writing little blessings down really has helped me develop a contented soul and feel like the richest girl in the world.
