Like A Pot of Gold

I love keeping letters and cards that I have received and even more than that, I love finding them once more after a time has passed and for the words and sentiments to mean either the same as they once did or for them to have changed as I have over the years. Sometimes the joy of looking forward is found only after you have looked back. It may be just a simple glance and yet this reflecting brings us to a whole new place, no? 

This is my my new 'HOPE' jar, it says 'Thank You' on the front. I'm gonna add a note to this jar each time good things happen and then I'll store them up for those cold, hard days when I need to be reminded that good things happen often. Little love letters that I will read over and over and over and over and over again ... 

My first love letter for the jar: Last night my hubby came home with flowers for me. They perfectly complimented the mood of my painting (see below) and remind me of a happy, happy time we spent somewhere hot and exotic some years back where our only worry was gathering momentum to move from our loungers to take a cool dip in the pool!
