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.
