princess 5th anniversary.

i don't think i have blogged about this, but this week i am heading off to participate in the 5th anniversary of the princess half marathon!  it'll be my 3rd time running it!  i am so excited.  there is a new medal in honor of the 5th year, and it is very fancy!  i can't wait to add it to my collection!  i have some epic pink running shoes that will fit right in with the theme of princess!  on february 24th, i hope those shoes will fly me to the finishline!

jar of good.

i have been meaning to post this since early january.  i am just a procrastinator i guess!

i found this idea (via a friends facebook post they had pinned on pintrest) about taking an empty jar, and starting at the new year, fill it with little slips of paper on which you write about something good that happened to you or just in general.  it basically can be anything, that is good for you in your eyes.  almost like a gratitude type thing.  then at the end of they year, you unfold them all, and read them.  it helps you to remember the good things.  

i have already filled out a few slips of  paper and filled them out.  they are not detailed, it just says what happened that was a good thing for me.  i thought this would be a helpful activity for me, especially after my hard times last year.  some of my comments i have written may not be impressive to some, but for me they can be!  it can be a simple  thing, or something more complex. 

i used a jar i had gotten at disneyland last fall.  i wasn't sure when i bought it, what i would do with it, i just thought it was cute.  so here is what i am going to use it for!  i hope i can keep up with this the whole year!

little steps like this idea are things i am doing to keep myself in a good place.
