What Is Normal Anyway? I get it. We all have the urge to classify our Pandemic experience in terms of “when do we get back to normal?” or “I guess this is the new normal?” or some other statement about our everyday lives and experiences. But, consider that every new day brings challenges and joys. Every new day is another opportunity to find happiness, if we choose it. It really doesn’t matter whether you are risking your health, or not, or wearing a mask, or not, or staying home more, or not. It really doesn’t matter if you have to stand in line for hours to get a vaccine that may, or may not work. I can choose joy under any circumstances. That is my super power. And, it is a super power that each of us possesses. Whether we use it is up to us. That, in itself, makes me joyous to be alive today. I don’t want normal. I don’t want things to “go back to normal”. I want to find ways to smile and enjoy this day. What will you choose?
