A Normal Day isn’t Normal →

Maya Angelou said: If you’re always trying to be normal you will never know how amazing you can be. I thought of that quote when I wondered how to label this day.  Perhaps it is a "normal day"? If it is a normal day is that normal?

I also remember a comment made while driving home from the Festival of Trees a few years ago. i had been a normal event for us having attending it several years in a row. For several weeks we had anticipated the Festival day and when the day arrived we went and on our way home one member of our group said, "now we can check that one off our bucket list this year and just relax". 

Is relaxing the normal we seek?  If some event makes our bucket list then does that mean when the even happens it can’t be a normal day? What one of us should have said that night when we were reminded of our bucket list was that the whole day had been just amazing because with the particular event it wasn’t a normal day. Whatever that is?

Great advice Maya, we needed that.
