Happy New Year!

[yogabonnie]

Last year..for the first time..we wrote once a week a good thing that happened during the week and stuck it in a jar. Husband managed at least 6 months and I the whole year..other than a couple weeks here and there and tonight we will read and remember all the good things! And there were many. (politics aside!) So this year I fully intend to do it too. Rather than dwelling on the aches and pains. A bit Pollyannaish I suspect..but in the midst of PMR surely Pollyanna is a boon! May 2018 bring you all health and happiness! (and maybe a jar full of good times!)

I am going to try and get paint brushes out and hope I can hold them up to canvas this year. I am rubbish but like the creative process. The is NOT a new years resolution lol😊

[Gaijin in reply to Hidden]

Hope you post a picture of your first painting of the year on here.🎇🎆🎇

[Hidden in reply to Gaijin]

Be careful what you hope for lol

[Gaijin in reply to Hidden]

You're so funny😂

[Hidden in reply to Gaijin]

Wasn't feeling funny this morning when I went to drive to supermarket..flat tyre from when I skidded in snow and hit kerb. I have expected it. Hoping that's not the start of the new year! New cars these days don't have spares just a spray thing that gets you to garage. Fortunately because it motability I can get mobile tyre fitters..between 8.3p and 1pm weds.. hurrah!! Every cloud....

[Gaijin in reply to Hidden]

I would say that since you ruined the tyre in 2017, today's event is more like the end of the year, not the start.. 😉

Mobile tyres... that's convenient..

[Hidden in reply to Gaijin]

That is brilliant point!! It was 2017. 😎

I like that idea yogabonnie. 😜 did you manage to keep them secret from one another.

I am saying this now but will I keep it up🤔.

I hope you are going to publish a few of them.

I will put a few funny devilish ones in mine 😜😂😂

Owt for a laugh me. 😲

O and before I forget

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND EVERYONE. 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🍺🍺

We DID keep them secret!!! and hoping there are indeed some funny ones. It will be fun to do. Would be MORE fun if we had done it when our kids were Teenagers and I would have had to NAG them to write each week!! ha. would have loved to see what THEY would have had to say!!! Also... it was the FIRST thing I ever did the whole year. (never managed kids star charts more than a week or New Year's resolutions or practicing the instruments... but this for some reason accomplished! )

[Gaijin]

What a lovely idea.. It'll be a fun activiry for New Year's Eve and good therapy, toó!

What a lovely idea Yogabonnie! Have a lovely time reminiscing. May the 'good things' jar be equally full this time next year for you and yours. Wishing you a healthy, happy 2018.

Happy New Year to you and everyone

I love the idea of notes in a jar

[Insight329]

Love that! What a wonderful way to celebrate the year! May it bring back some memories that you both had forgotten. Hope you have a wonderful New Year, Yogabonnie (and yb husband).

Happy New Year to you all, and hopefully a healthier one too!

[Jackoh]

Really good idea!!!!

[Marcy47]

Brilliant idea yogabonnie. Will give it a try. Struggling to find good news today, OH has put his back out so more chores for me. On the other hand it is not snowing, I have food in the fridge and my cat loves me!

Happy New Year to all xxx

[yogabonnie]

well just so you know.. he DID write a lot of them (hurrah! sounds so good!) but NO interest in READING them. hahahaha. (sainted husband just lost his halo.)

[Hidden]

Thank you Yogabonnie what a good idea. I have a spare Diary. Have to be a bit careful ,I often slip into my 47 year old diving suit, the Suit! not me I wish, and I am swimming with Hammerhead sharks, in my Day dreams, it has not helped with the Blue Water films- just one more Dive........... but in the meantime thank you for the Good wishes for 2018, the same to you, and all of US

Great idea! I keep a gratitude journal, write every morning before 5 am Pred dose. I try to be very specific ...like I was able to lift 5 pounds up from 3, or my mother remembered what she had for dinner the night before, or the date was OK (that’s a rarity)! You get the idea. Psychologists say grateful people are happy people. Oh well, I’ll be thankful if we all feel better and have easier tapering to zero!

[marigoldb]

Fantastic idea, it can be so easy to dwell on the negatives. Happy New Year to you and your family x

[Pam47]

What a great idea! Many thanks for sharing!
