Whether it’s a photo album, a diary, a toy, or a souvenir, each item can trigger a vivid recollection of a person, place, or event. You can feel the emotions, hear the sounds and smell the scents of the past. And the best part is that you can also share these memories with others and bond over common experiences.
You can also explore the unknown and unexpected in a drawer, shelf or tucked away suitcase. Sometimes, you may find something you’ve never seen before, or have totally forgotten about. There could be a family hidden treasure, a secret message, or a lost artifact, and suddenly you become, while rummaging, a code-breaker from a Dan Brown novel.
Rummaging through old items can be, above all, a fun and fulfilling activity. It can enrich your life with memories, discoveries and appreciation. It can also inspire you to preserve, to create and to cherish all the items you value of the present and the future.
