What is normal anyway? I learned thru all the festivities of recent days, that what I considered to be family normalcy was not other people's idea of normalcy. I wanted to have a party that featured good music, fun and frivolity. We did. Music hit the spot. Other people had never seen a party like this and they are still commenting. I went out to dinner last night with Joan Gohn and she said the same thing --"Jane, you grew up in this; other families never had a musical production at a family party! " So why do I pretend that we are normal; I don't even wish for it.
I am going through thank you notes by the package and phone calls until I had to go get a new phone on which I could hear. I am packing away cards after reading them again and again. If someone takes the time to go get a card, I want to read it and think about that person. I may not acknowledge all the cards physically but I do mentally. And in some cases, spiritually.
But normalcy --it's not what it is cracked up to be! Nor is it an aspiration of mine. Does it lead to happiness. Maybe. Is it normal to even be thinking about this? I don't think so.
