'Normal' is a relative term---what's normal for the spider is chaos for the fly (Morticia Addams).

'Normal' for me personally is not having to do a gut-check the instant I wake up in the morning to see what kind of mood I'm in. Normal is letting stuff run off my back, like stupid drivers and political views that don't mesh with my own. Normal is going to work, doing my job, driving home, eating dinner, and spending time with my husband in the evenings.....without being hit 50 times a day with the thought, "I'm bipolar". Normal is being on an emotional even keel, not getting annoyed with hubby for leaving the oven on or weeping over sappy Hallmark movies.

Normal is where I am now. It's quite lovely here. I'm enjoying my visit.
