There are billions of people and a version of normal to go along with each one of them. No two versions are exactly the same. There will be hundreds of thousands of little things that make up your version of normal. With any luck you can find people that have close to the same idea of what normal is that you do. These are your friends. Anyone else you try to tolerate as best you can.
....
The exact definition of normal depends on who's running the asylum.
Thanks Mike it's always healing to walk through your forests that you create for us. I've been meaning to send you some trees and I guess I haven't. Being with my husband everyday in hospice care is just involving and exhausting. Although it's also my social life I do love seeing him and sharing a feeling of well-being and the people there are really nice but I'm just drained and exhausted when I come home after sorry I haven't been visiting period aloha dear friend Dont get me wrong, it hurts to see him like that but I'm just valuing every day. Oh and the world is going mad - or one horrible person in the worst possible position is also happening! It is a challenge to stay on the bright side but life is too short to ruin with things we cant change. . . . thanks for listening
Did I mention this already... A few friends gather on Thursday afternoons. When one of them and myself go out to our cars to go home, we look at each other and say, "Weren't we just here?" And next thing you know, it's Thursday again.

I saw #9 in my bathroom mirror this morning.
ReplyDeleteI think the long hair looks good on you.
Delete#4 looks so appealing, not that I like rain or anything.
ReplyDeleteA house, at the TOP of the hill, would be nice.

You need to spend as much time as you can with your husband. I'm not sure how much time Claudia has left. I'm hoping years, but I'm not sure.
DeleteI love the huge River Red Gum.
ReplyDeleteAre you going to try and find it?
DeleteI can't believe how fast the weeks fly by. Wasn't it just last Thursday?

DeleteFavorite is #7, mainly because I've never seen that kind of tree at that angle before.
ReplyDeleteIf I remember correctly, I think it's a birch.
DeleteGreat trees! #5 wins for me but not an easy choice. Thanks for the weekly uplift!
