Happiness Jar opening 2018

 There aren't many slips in the jar this year, but it's not because there weren't lots of great moments. I've had a pretty good year emotionally, due mostly to seeing a great therapist and doing really well on my medication for the depression. It's still there, but it doesn't hurt so badly, and I have more good days than bad days now. That's something I couldn't put in the jar that really means something, but it took me a year to figure that out. Without any further ado, here's what was in the jar in no order whatsoever.

• Broke the sex dry spell and had a great time with my husband. Did not go 2 years without after all!
• Blood pressure NICE and LOW, 120/64 with pulse rate of 68. BMI dropped from 68 to 60! Scale hasn't moved much yet but good things are happening! (1/28/2018)
• I am pleasantly surprised that Ellie made it to her 13th birthday! Old lady dog may live a while longer than I thought! (1/19, she was put to sleep in March after getting kennel cough)
• Helped Joey with his Pinewood Derby car and it looks AWESOME! Hope it races just as well as it looks! (we called it the Later Gator)
• Found pants I thought were lost forever when looking for my snow boots- and they will fit good again soon!
• I own, and have worn, a 1X shirt! NSV!!!!
• Mom and Jill are moving to a house! With a fenced in yard and right around the corner from a really nice library! (the house turned out to be a dump on the inside, but they moved to a much nicer much larger apartment on the ground floor)
• Got a postcard from the SOUTH POLE!
• Had a great Christmas and a happy new year! Joey loved all his presents and I loved all of mine ♥
• Saw a tree SO FULL of robins that it looked like a fall tree! Never seen anything like it!
• Got a job! Working at PETSMART! FOR MY BIRTHDAY! (didn't stay because my van died on me and I had no way to get there every day, but I'm working at another pet store, a local company, that is 2 miles from the house and I LOVE IT!)
• SNOW!!!!
• Got our aquarium set up- 9 neon tetras (smallest is Waldo, biggest is Greg) 1 betta (Toki-o) and 2 albino cory catfish (big one is Jon Snow, small one is Ghost). Also Spot the Snail! (only one of those fish is still alive and that's Toki-o)
Not sure if I should keep doing this, or maybe I should encourage EVERYONE to put things in there. There were lots more things this year, but I'd forgotten about all of these, so it's good to revisit every now and again
