Back to normal somewhat??


 

 

Okay I've got a wife in the house and can give and receive kisses and truthfully we are just like when she left...normalcy.  I love her steadfastness and her calm spirit...Mahalo Akua...Thank you God.   Going to step up my Family Group attendance because I am aware of a return of an old defect which doesn't feel, sound or act good...wish me ESH.   (((HUGS))) smile

 Greetings, Jerry... it is Monday morning here... and freezing cold outside... for me mid-winter is a turning around time... another day above ground. Planning to get to a meeting in the next town this evening... Hawaiiki nui, Hawaiiki roa, Hawaiiki pamamao, we we say over here... for the far side of Polynesia... smile...

"Normal" is my preferred state - I try to handle exceptions as they come up.....always seems to be grateful when 'normal' comes! Enjoy your meeting brother!

Normal is wonderful...when it's "our" normal, a healthy, happy, serenity normal.

During my worst times -- my definition of normal almost killed me.

Enjoy to all.

I get you Bo and that is the normalcy I was referring to.  I am surprised that it so easily and quietly returns to nail me.  Have to inventory expectations and relationships and just plain trying the program without "working it"....where in the hell did I come up with that one?  Morning meeting was a good one now back to working it.   (((hugs))) smile

Jerry, when I was so in it, so deep, my world was falling apart -- and everything seemed so normal. My friends and family could not believe who and what I had become and how I saw all of what was going on as "normal" -- and I actually defended all of it to them. Like I said, my standards had gotten so low, that this so called normal, was killing me. My definition of normal got lower and lower, worse and worse, every single day.

Now, I am healthy and happy...and now I know what normal truly is. It is wonderful.
