Yet sometimes we get a nudge from the universe to remember them, anyway, to snapshot them as a way of journaling the simple moments of what many might deem simple lives.
This latest example is the box of granola bars we brought home from the Costco in the midst of a blizzard, the winds blowing so strongly at one point that the box almost launched itself out of the cart and across the parking lot.
We probably shouldn’t have been out, but with the weather warnings suggesting things would get even worse, we made the very Canadian decision to dig out the car and forage for enough groceries to see us through the storm. It’s one of the ways we batten down the hatches when things get rough.
After getting home and thawing ourselves out, I stopped in my tracks after opening the box and noticing the weird spectacle that lay inside. The patterns and colours strangely spoke to me. So I played dining room table photographer for a few minutes to freeze that particularly dark Friday evening in time.
Because lives are complex things. And some of us are lucky enough to live them out alongside partners who understand the secret language of blizzards and granola bars, and will carefully watch over you as you try to keep boxes from flying away into apocalyptic snow storms.
Because ordinary isn’t really ordinary, nor is simple really simple. And in the end, the stories of the everyday turn out to be the stories of us.
