I read this Pixelcrush article on creating a 'Jar of Awesomeness' as we go into the New Year: 'fill it with notes of awesome things that have happened during the year. By awesome I mean anything that has put a smile on your face, made you feel all warm inside – nothing is too small or insignificant.'
It sounds like a good idea, time permitting. You could even just jot quick things down in a online notebook. I use evernote for recipes, medical records and things.
I went to church on the weekend, husband M came along. The weather was awful and wet with slushy snow. It was a bit of a storm. I actually used my umbrella. The priest seemed to have a hard time pronouncing a word, I think he wanted to say 'characteristic' and it came out as something quite unintelligible. His sermon was quite boring. This family sitting in our row held up the wrong hymn books for most of one song. Strange mass. There are 2 hymn books, one red and one green. They announce which book, and the song number before the hymn is sung. It was nice that the church was still singing Christmas Carols.

Sounds like that could be a word to describe me Christine lol
Love the idea of being a procaffinator! Your Church service sounds rather strange! Valerie
That does sound like a strange sermon. I don't have a problem with churches. One thing I remember though is the pastor being filled with vigour and energy to really get your attention. Even when delivering boring sermons they do their best to be charismatic about it.
I love the idea of that jar. It's certainly a way to stay positive and remind ourselves of the really good things in our life.
I have not been to Mass since 2004, mainly due to the sex scandals. Ugh.
I think I am an atheist now.
I'm with you on the Christmas carols. It was nice to sing them one last time before they go away until next year.
Ha ha - that sign sums me up!
When you write husband M, right away I think, what? Is there a husband N, and O, too?
Got your comment. I never baked with cow's milk as I hate the stuff and most of my bakes are already vegan, no butter. Now though, there's a few more restrictions for a family friend, so that's what I'm fixin' to fix.
"His sermon was quite boring."
that described every Sunday when I still was a methodist
I do think it's an excellent idea to focus on happy events. I like the procaffinator idea!
nice idea!!
I remember when our old church invented the 'new' hymn books. The oldsters loathed it. Now, I was telling hubby, there is a new new one. It's tough!
My goodness! I had no idea I was a procaffinator. I didn't even know there was such a word.
