So I saw it on Pinterest: a project where starting January 1, write down a great thing that happens every day, stuff the note in a jar, and then you open it up on December 31 to see what an awesome year you had.

I need to do this. I spend too much time fixating on what I have to fix, and not enough time focusing on what’s actually right and good. Keep this up, and my last words will be “Eh. I could have done better on that.”

I couldn’t find a jar, but I could find this blog, and I can think of nothing better as a daily goal than trying to decide the best thing that had happened that day and then noting it for posterity.

So if nothing else, every day you should see what won the top spot in Best of Bess’ Day. It might just be a word or two, or it might be several words, and it might come with other posts about other things, but it’s my promise to myself.
