"Blessing" Jar

Blogging Friends.... I have a "Therapy Session" post which I've been writing. But we watched my nearly two-year old niece, "Amethyst" {Her sister's Blog name is "Opal"!!} today!! So!! I was busy!! Then. After spending my entire New Year's working on a story, I had one day that was writing-free, which, I gave to Rose!! Whew!!
 
Please keep Jackson, my Beautifully Unique Kindred Spirit "Cranio" Buddy in your thoughts and prayers, as today was his surgery day!! {By the way? I wrote this little part in purple for a symbolic reason. Because, apparently, that is the international Craniosynostosis color!!}
 
Look for a children's story to be posted on my other Blog, "Minuscule is good!" {Lord willing!!} tomorrow!!
Tumblr. It can be Blog post after Blog post after Blog post of inappropriate subjects. Don't ask!! But it is my go-to source of any and all Robert Downey Jr. news!! Plus pictures!! And Tumblr is much more reliable than Google or Bing!! Don't judge!! But every now and again, you find something which is wholesome and clean on Tumblr!! The other day, my eyes read this idea. You know what? I think I'll partake in this exercise!! Actually. I already am!! {Mentally!!} Dear Blogging Friends. Join me!! It will be a simple, fun and creative way to count our many God-given blessings in 2014!!
Start on January 1st with an empty jar. Throughout the year write the good things that happened to you on little pieces of paper. On December 31st, open the jar and read all the amazing things that happened to you that year.
