What to Put in a September Time Capsule

preserving a moment in time…

The notebook you started carrying around after deleting distracting apps on your phone.

Your plants in the kitchen sink on a Monday afternoon when you’ve put them there for what is dubbed their “weekly spa vacation.”

Some of the air that is fresher and cooler but still gets warm like early summer by the day’s end.

The view from your first successful hike as an adult.

Your fall wardrobe update: aka the sweats you got from Sam’s Club one weekend and haven’t taken off since.

A quote from a really good book you read this month.

Things that are healing your body.

Pink paint samples of the shade you might want to repaint your kitchen accent wall.

The special rock your five-year-old found on a walk to the park and then proudly presented to you.

A wrapper from the bite-sized candy bars you can’t stop eating lately.

Dried petals from the bouquet your husband brought home for no reason.

The self-portrait you took when you felt so good in your own skin.

Anything that reminds you to be present, breathe deeply, and enjoy the beauty of life.
