I have been slowly writing in the pages of this {She} journal.  Most of my journals seem to tell stories where each page flows together with the next (like in my travel journal).

But this journal is a little different.  I’m capturing moments.  In their sum, these moments do tell the story of Martin and me in their own way.

The letter on the left is from my grandmother, age 93.  She writes about the things we are doing and the things she is doing with this humbling level of wisdom that only someone in her 90s could reveal.  It’s a part of our story.  I knew it needed to go in this book.

I hole punched the envelope and date stamped it with a little note.  I love using a date stamp with this journal!

The other page is a writing prompt that felt like such a perfect fit to a long autumn stroll we took on Tuesday evening.  Here’s a picture I’m going to print in 4×6 inches, hole punch, and add to this book.

I love the simple, poetic moments.

So many of you shared incredible thoughts on Monday’s post, Are We Simplifying Because We Don’t Have Anything Else to Do? I’ve loved your wisdom!  Hearing your ideas is one of my favorite parts of Making This Home!

It’s so true that we feel like we’re supposed to be busy, and often that busyness isn’t even with any of important things.

I hope you find time in your weekend for some not busy things.  Next week is very exciting at Making This Home, so I’ll see you Monday!
