Happy Jar

What a WONDERFUL idea - having a Happy Jar!! Andrea says "The Happy Jar is a place where we can collect happy thoughts — maybe a little thing that brightened someone’s day or a major accomplishment or milestone or something that one of us is looking forward to. As the jar fills up, it’s fun to pull out random slips and read happy thoughts. The coolest part is that the Happy Jar inspires smiles on both ends — when you write a slip to drop in and when you take out a slip to read. So sweet."
