My family started something called the Good Times Jar—every week each family member adds a note about something good that happened that week. It could be anything, but it needs to be detailed, so that at the end of 2024, we can read them aloud and savor the small wins and pleasures from the past year. We keep the jar on our kitchen counter, with a notepad and pen nearby. Every time I see it as I’m rushing by, I’m reminded to slow down the blur and take in the moments.
