Why these picks
Journaling is all about the small stuff. Sometimes we get so caught up in the big picture that we forget the magic is usually in the scraps. This week, I found some stories from our partners that really hit home. They're looking at things under a microscope, and it reminded me of how we layer paper to build a page. Each piece is a little bit of history we choose to keep.
One writer looks at dirt and sees the passage of time. Another looks at a watch and sees a life lived. It's all about how we pay attention to what's right in front of us. Don't you feel a little more connected to things when you know they have a secret past? These stories help us look closer at our own materials.
