Look Around

While it may seem silly to take a picture of the top of a garbage bag or half-melted candle, these pictures can still evoke strong memories in the future.

Can you remember when garbage bags didn't have the tie handles? I can. I remember the straps with serrated edges that you tied them shut with. I use to use them to make icicles for the Christmas tree. But you can't find them today.

Shampoos that fall in and out of favor. The changes they make. Tiny grape tomatoes that were rarely seen in days gone by and now fill the grocery stores. Will they still be here in 20 or 30 years? Or will they be replaced by something smaller?

We need to document our daily lives as well as the important days. Sometimes it is the small things we are going to want to show later in life and they may no longer be available.

  1. You know I have never looked at things this way and yes you are so right about things we look at now may not be here tomorrow. I think I am going to use this one day. I hope you don't mind.
