For the last five months I have been wishing and praying for "normal". No more stress. Just peace and sameness. No more packing and unpacking and hanging pictures and having workmen visit to do projects. No more worrying about selling three properties and buying a new house. No hassles with reverse mortgages (glad we took a pass) or renting a temporary place to stay. And of course, the biggie: no more watching hubby suffer, seeing doctors, trying different medicines and thinking life will never get any better. Ah, to just have to think of the little "normal" things - Does the car need an oil change? What should I wear to shul? Is anything good on TV? What do we need at Publix? So what else is "normal"? Getting up a little early to enjoy a cup of coffee and the paper and watch the sky get lighter. Writing my blog and reading a book from the library. Updating my Netflix queue and checking Facebook. Calling a friend. Perusing the activities offered today in The Villages and maybe picking one that appeals.
"Normal" is highly under-rated and I will never again take "normal" for granted...
