The New Normal

A couple was dining with a colleague, who was a therapist.  She was telling a story about when her seven-year-old daughter had recently asked, “Mommy, what’s normal?”  Our therapist friend gave a response only a mother who’s analyzed one too many patients could give:  “Honey, normal is what people are before  you get to know them.”

I keep hearing a spoken desire to return to normal or to find our new normal.  I may have lived a strange life, but I have found “normal” to be a moving moment in time.  What was normal for me as a kid without responsibility was not the “norm” with which I functioned as a parent or educator.  It has been my experience to seek what normal for me was each day and to accept the challenges that a new daily normal may bring…Am I alone in living this strange life?

Have a nice day…take care of yourself and others!
