It turns out that when one dream is achieved, it's sort of like hitting just the right kernel in Popcorn Ninja. You know the one that brings on a blitz and suddenly kernels are popping up everywhere?

Throughout the year, when something good happened, or someone accomplished something, we would write it down, and then at the end of the year, we would take turns pulling them from a jar and reading them aloud. It was a way of remembering things we were thankful for.

Lisa, I love that idea! I'm going to start doing that with my family.
