Question What to do with this tiny journal?

Finally got to open the notebook therapy lucky myth gift box and inside was - among many other fine things - this sweet little journal! Now what do I do with this? Do any of you have such small journals and what do you use them for?

My grandad wrote in one of those mini post book diaries everyday. Usually 2-3 sentences a day. But geez they really tell the story of his life. I have his journals from 1948-1972. They have taught me a lot about my grandad that I would have never known if not for reading them. On special days, he'd put a reference star in and continue writing on a blank day. Those 4 lines seriously tell a story of his life, and i feel like i know my granddad in a more personal way now. It made me realize how young he was once and how many things were similar for young guys in those days. Like asking his wife out, meeting friends, losing people. It made me realise how affectionate he was for someone born 100 years ago and how little has changed as humans. They are beautiful to have. Do a one line a day journal or a page a day?
