Leading up to NYE I saw post after post about New Years resolutions, intentions, goals, vision boards, you name it, it was posted. And that is great, I am all for them but something I really enjoyed doing for 2018 (and it was easy to stick with), was 52 weeks of a Good Thing. I’ve already started for 2019 and you can too, we are still in Week 1 of the new year. See below for how it all works and have fun!
Here’s what you do:
- Find a vase
- Get yourself some 2×2 sticky notes, scratch paper, any paper is fine
- Have dedicated pen
- Find a convenient location – One you pass regularly, like an entry side table
- Every week write down: a good thing that happened, something you are grateful for, a thing that made you smile, anything.
- At the end of 52 weeks or more ideally on NYE, you pour them all out and read them at random.

It’s a great reflection on the past year, along with a great way to start the new year… in gratitude.
A few of my cherished memories from 2018…
- Getting Engaged and both our families were in on it…I on the other hand was clueless
- Camping in Humboldt with great friends
- My mom starting her Chemo Drug
- Hawaii… take me back
- Launching Poppy & Vine!!!
