Is there really such a word in..."Normal?" Is there really such a word in the English language??I'd forgotten that there are really normal things that happen to people. Sometimes I think normal can be described as survival. And then again there is the NEW Norm. Such as after experiencing major changes we adjust to life under the new norm. I think what I have learned about being normal is not to give in to Jocelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02714577523744715551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036395284041892177.post-58876569076798849082014-08-31T13:56:15.137-04:002014-08-31T13:56:15.137-04:00So glad you had a good day!

Major surgery including drilling HOLES in his knee to run sutures through to reattach the muscles. EWWW. Did I mention no Aflac and he is our sole source of income.
