Capture an Everyday Journey

I drove to the mailbox yesterday morning.  It’s kind of embarrassing to say that.

I was the first one on the road all day.  I was in my down coat and long underwear.

I said hello to the lone horse outside.  Hello horse!  Do you suppose he’s staying warm? Do you think below-freezing temperatures bother him?

I woke two dogs from their morning snoozes so they could chase me.  Again.

But they did not last long, and before I knew it, they were just two specks in my rearview mirror.

I try to document more of the every day stuff now. When we lived in Europe, it was so easy to see how AMAZING the everyday life was for people over there.  That’s because it wasn’t my every day.

What is part of your every day? Have you ever brought a camera with you to capture it?  It might feel like your every day is boring or uninteresting.  Maybe it is… but only RIGHT NOW.  I’d love to have photos of the lengthy journey we used to take to elementary school (you know what “lengthy” means in elementary school… it was like five blocks!).  I’d love to see photos from my autumn bike ride to campus.

I’d love to have… wait a second.  Why not make it a habit to capture more of those everyday journeys now?  (NOT that I am allowing myself to drive to the mailbox once that temperature creeps above freezing again.)  But for now, this is a piece of my weekly  journey.

What are some everyday journeys from the past that you’d love to see today?  What’s an everyday (or weekly) journey you’re taking now?
