    I have been using "The Five-Minute Journal" for my Happiness Challenge!  It is nice to look back and reflect on the positives.  They have an app and they also have an old school journal.  I have used both, currently using the written journal.

    We are really trying to recycle everything that we can.  Where are you guys taking your glass and paper?

      Here is a link about a program that is going to go different places and accept glass.  Coming to Dormont in April!

      Construction Junction collects glass, and there were some posts on FB about Mt. Lebo and Bethel park glass recycling. But WM still takes paper, just not "shredded" paper.
