little things

I found this thing on tumblr sometime in December.
It was just a really simple, nice little idea.
You take a jar, or whatever else you fancy and basically fill it with the nice things that happen.
So you write it down, fold it up, I add dates to mine and but it in the jar.
And then on New Years Eve, or I think the festive season in general would work for this, you empty your jar and go through all the amazing little things that happened and made you happy that you otherwise wouldn't remember.
I always remember the big stuff. It's what sticks. Not stuff like, on Monday I had really great ice-cream, which at the time would've made me super happy.

So I have started my jar.
And I can tell you, I've already forgotten some things that I've written down. And I can't wait to be reunited with them sometime in December.
Or earlier, if I really really really need it.

And I made soup yesterday.

Little things.
