Normal is most people. Normal are people who aren't very rich or very poor. With a decent education but not a Ph.D. People who obey the law. People who come somewhere between brilliant and dumb. People who do what most other people do. Normal people were most of the people in your class in grade school. Normal people don't come in very high or very low on any scale that's used to evaluate people. Normal people can live in very nice houses or decent houses, but they won't live in hovels or mansions. Most normal people get married and have families, but many normal people don't do those things. Normal people frequently enjoy pizza or hamburgers and turkey on Thanksgiving.

You can be part normal and part something else. You can be normal in every single thing you do and say and own and think with the one exception of your depression, which really gets you down. Or you can be half-and-half normal and something else, like if you have bad BP.

Normal is a word, an adjective, that describes a noun or a phrase. I myself am normal in what I eat, drink, wear, watch on TV, the house I live in, the car I drive around in, and in what I buy for my wife on her birthday. I'm not normal in the books I read or the music I listen to, not because I don't want to be normal, not because I think I'd like to be different from other people, but because things just worked out that way.

I'm not at all normal with regard to a number of the processes going on in my mind, though I'm definitely getting more and more normal in that sense through working with T. I would very much like to be entirely normal. But I don't believe I'll ever have that choice. Take care!
