  1. Oooooo I love oprah’s Jars! I am going to have to do this with our kids this year, because we truly are blessed

  2. Gratitude jars are an amazing idea, we always have something to be grateful for and serves as a great reminder of our blessings when we’re feeling down.

  3. A friend of mine used to make these at the start of the year and then read them out at the end of the year! I’ve always thought it was a great idea but I never tried it out for myself. This is a great opportunity to start! Thanks for sharing x

  4. I really like the idea of including milestones in the jar – especially if they’re dated. Sometimes when we’re feeling discouraged, looking back at how much we’ve accomplished can give us a boost.

  5. I want to do something intentional like this in 2018 – maybe a big jar in the middle of our dining room table, or some journals or something. My kids would love this as well.

  6. you know, i started doing this.. when 2017 began but dont know why i left all of it in the middle. thanks for the reminder i am going to start again. its a wonderful idea to see our blessings in front of us 🙂

  7. I love this idea! I’ve never thought of doing it this way – I’ve only heard of doing a “gratitude journal” so this is really fun and creative! Thanks for sharing – I’ll be saving this one!

  8. What a great idea! Your jars turned out great. I really need to do this with my family so we can reflect on how truly lucky and blessed we are. Thanks for such a great idea.

  9. I absolutely LOVE this idea!! My mom was telling me about this recently. She decided to keep a journal with hers so she could re-read it easily where ever she was. 🙂

  10. I absolutely love this!! What an amazing way to always remember to be grateful and you to remember that you’re so blessed. Great idea!! I am going to adopt one of these in my home!

  11. We usually end up cribbing about a lot of things in life and overlook the many good things that we need to be grateful for. The gratitude jar is indeed a novel and great idea to count our blessings.

  12. I love this idea! And I really like getting the kids involved. My boys are too young to write, but they could easily tell us something. Now to decide if we do a big family jar or one for each of us.

  13. I’ll pretty much try anything that Oprah recommends but this idea, regardless of its origin, seems like something we can all get behind. What a simple and easy way to remind ourselves of the many beautiful things we have to be grateful for- will definitely try this out in the new year.

    1. Tonya- I’m so glad you like it! I’m excited to start it with my family!
