I was reminded of this by the lovely hummingbird133, who agreed to let me repost this.

i've tried it in my paper journal
(yes i write each day)
i call it 3 good things
but sometimes i'm so tired my mind is blank

[spikesgirl58]

That's why the scraps of paper work better for me - you are looking at a small piece of paper as opposed to a whole blank sheet. I can jot down a short note, but when faced with an entire sheet, my instinct is to fill it. I am so going to give this a shot this next year.

Yes I think we should make this really this year.

[spikesgirl58]

I'm going to do my best!

[jkkitty]

Sounds good, but don't think it would work for me.

[spikesgirl58]

Why wouldn't it work for you? Surely you have one good thing that happens to you or a good thing that you do for someone a day. You might surprise yourself.

[jkkitty]

Not really to me. but great idea

[missdiane]

I can be such a worrywart. This might be good for me to try (even if I despise handwriting things)

[spikesgirl58]

We're talking just a few words - not that much writing! My problem will be reading it later!

I can't see myself keeping up with it. On the other hand, I have 5 of those jars ... hopefully I'm not starting a hoarder trend. :)

You might want to give it a shot or get rid of those jars... :P
