The 2020 Jar of Thoughts

We all get bombarded with quotes and positivity messages at the turn of a new year. Where in my eyes, December 31 and January 1 are days just like any other day, one quote I got to read a couple of times within the 24 hours, not intentionally mind you, got me thinking... It read: "Today is the first blank page of a 366-page book. Write a good one". Hmm. Stumbling upon the same quote several times within 24 hours sounded to me like too much of a coincidence.

And so, I started wondering what initiative could I start to make proper use of those simple words. Writing a book could be an option. However, not for this year. It is still on top of the bucket list of things I want to do, just not yet. So how about a page that is NOT going to be another collection of positive thoughts? This Jar, since I found the idea of a jar cute and in a way resembling the jar I use to collect wine bottle corks, will simply be a selection of thoughts, events, and maybe some feelings too that will cross my path during 2020. If you know me a bit, you certainly have heard me say: "I don't like even numbers". I really don't. And 2020 is too much of one. I'm surely not going to spend it ranting every day. I promise to keep it to one idea at a time. Well, mostly that is. Curious to find out more?

UPDATE: Dec. 31, 2020 This year has turned out to be a far more challenging and interesting year for me, on all levels. The only even thing about it was ... the number. In the end, I didn't keep my goal of publishing small writings in the Jar of Thoughts daily. I did my best to keep the "How Can I Help You Campaign" going on my personal FB page and I am currently thinking of ways to connect all those ideas. Stay tuned!
