Few weeks ago I read about “starting 2013 off with an empty jar and filling it with notes about good things that happen”. But I thought of making use of the gift box I received (let us support re-using and re-cycling whenever we can!) instead of a jar. I know that random note-jotting is not a breaking concept, it is the thought of another medium of counting my blessings, focusing on good things, re-kindling the old school/re-claiming a nice handwriting (ehem) through scribbling on post-its, tissue paper or any paper and dropping it in the box that excites me.
And the quote further says that ” On new year’s eve, empty the jar box and see what awesome stuff happened that year”.
It looks like that I am not the only one who is excited about this idea and/ or the use of red box.
Happy 2013 everyone!


Hmmm, that looks exciting. I think I’m gonna need a red box too!
Hi Sheng, any box color would do!
That’s a nifty idea to start a year.
Happy New Year, Ms. Jo!!
I hope hindi ningas cogon. Hehe.
This is a great idea…thinking if I could do this too.
Let me know how it goes for you.
Wow, that would be like reading diary on pieces of paper after a year. Just be sure Kitty won’t litter it
Yes, like a log/ diary of good memories. Our cats are (thankfully) perfectly litter-trained.
Exciting ito…Happy New Year and God Bless u more J.
Thanks, Jeanny. I’m happy to “see” you here. I hope to bloghop, too. Happy 2013!
this reminds me of Jim Croce’s line, “if i had a box just for wishes..” from Tme in A Bottle. Happy new year, Wits.
Happy new year, too! I haven’t seen Time in A Bottle. Must watch soon. A box dedicated for wishes is another good idea.
i just might do this. though i’m thinking forgetful me will only work on this for 2 weeks and never remember it again. haha! and this made me curious about your handwriting. patingin!
happy 2013, witsandnuts! love the new theme, by the way!
I’m glad you liked the new theme. I wanted a cheerful one right now, although I’m a fan of plain themes.
Sige I’ll share my handwriting pag maganda na uli. Hahaha.
Sana nga matuluy tuloy ko ang paglagay ng details kay red box hehe. So far, so good. Happy new year!
2013 seems so promising for all of us!
let’s claim it! happy new year, jo!
i like the new image of your blog! the font, the template, everything’s lovely.
Thanks, Doc Gelo.
I’ve read about the jar of happiness/positive thoughts on FB. I’ve been meaning to start with mine. I guess it’s not yet too late to start.
