We finally opened up the jar and read out all of our weekly remembrances. It was fun. It's an activity that I enjoy. I love reading them. Sometimes they're big things, but sometimes they aren't, it's just something little, that you'd probably forgot. I think my favourite memory written on one of the little papers is "seeing red Mars with my eyeballs". Thinking of that, standing on the back porch because Kate told me I should, and delighting in the majesty of space. It was a good moment, and one that I had forgotten. I love the writing down of things, so much.
