What is normal? Does normal make you happy?

Most people who evacuated for the most recent hurricanes will tell you that things are finally getting back to normal. But what exactly is normal anyway. I guess they are referring to returning to the same routines they had before the storms hit us. If so, that is ashame. If these storms taught us anything it is that life can be disrupted at a moments notice and friends and family are the most precious gifts we all have. We shouldn't have to wait for a storm to reminds of this. We need to return to a time when families visited each other on Sundays instead of being self absorbed by things of much less importance. Turn off the TV or the video player and make someone happy by visiting for a few hours with kin folk you haven't seen in forever.
