Quotidianity
Last year happened and I didn’t even noticed… I have always had a hard time remembering the particular year it was when something relevant in my life took place. I don’t recall the year I graduated high school or college (mind you, we don’t put too much stress on “class year” in the Spanish culture). I only remember the year I moved to NYC, the year Eron and I started dating (just because I have it present everyday on my computer screensaver), the year I graduated from Business School (again, in the US they do very much stress the graduation year until it gets engraved in your skull), and the year I was born.
I know, I know, you guys are not believing I can’t remember the year I got married or the year my children were born, right? Well… I can remember them, of course but it takes a bit of an effort and back calculation to do so! I just never put so much relevance to dates!
So 2017 happened and it would be one more year date in my life that remains faded in my memory… not so much all the fun and wonderful moments we got to experience in 2017, those are there well stored in my heart and my soul, but 2017 was a substantially quotidian uneventful year.
And I could not be any happier about it! That’s how I like it! Those are the best years! Pretty much every year in my life is full of quotidianity, peace, security, love and warmth. I have a feeling that things are going to get stirred up quite a bit in 2018 (more on that on a later post), but 2017 was PERFECTLY PERFECT, it was cozy, it was fun, it was safe and it was nourishing…
I like to record every year all those uneventful moments, the seconds that make our lifetime. Particularly because with small children I may wake up tomorrow and have them graduating from college, having kids of their own… and I want to savor my basic and quotidian life with them over and over again…
Here is our 2017
