Mindful Jar

I have a jar that sits on the printer next to the computer. It is called a mindful jar. All it contains is glitter, glue and colored water. Each morning when I start the day, the glitter sits peacefully on the bottom of the jar and the light pink water is clear. I shake the bottle and watch as the glitter fills the water and swirls around glistening. I stare at the jar until the glitter slowly dances to the bottom and is at rest again. The jar is a metaphor for my day. It starts off peacefully and events shake it up. If I just wait it out, the day will wind down and be quiet again.
