I've managed to keep a memory jar for eight months, from January till August 2013. The decision to stop was forced by my moving to China. Also, I didn't stop to write down the good things about my days - now I have my lime green "simple diary", e-mails and blog to do that.

The jar is amazing and I feel very, very happy that I filled it with good memories. When I get back to Poland in January, I plan to read all the cards again, decorate the jar beautifully and put it somewhere visible (now the cards are just in a flowerpot as I didn't really want to make my jar public ; D). Also, I think that a jar for 2014 is a very good idea.

Advice for everyone keeping a jar: don't just write down your good memories. Write down wise quotes, song lyrics, names & deeds of inspiring people. It will make your jar a powerful store of inner strength and motivation!I've managed to keep a memory jar for eight months, from January till August 2013.
