Back to Normal

We had an interesting conversation recently that has made me reflect on what is normal? Comments have been made relating to us getting back to normal when this is all over. But what if normal has changed? There are so many differences. I am not going into the details of what we will look at differently, but for the sake of discussion let's talk about reconstruction.

The words reconstruction and cosmetic surgery should never be compared. This procedure regardless of what we choose will never have Lynn feel the same. It will never look the same. It is never going to have her forget what she went through. There will always be a reminder of this experience and that it may return.

Normal is what you make of it. Better to say we can get back to living life the best way we know how. We recreate normal every moment. To be enlightened, one might say that we should use all bad experiences to grow. We definitely have. But from time to time, it is ok to feel what is there and to just allow it to be. Everything is ok, just the way it is and just the way it is not.

Welcome to relativity, the guiding principal of just about everything. Perspective encourages reason. There is only one absolute and everything else is relative to the perspective of your viewpoint. My gray area has done away with black and white.
