A New Normal


     Many months have passed since I wrote my last blog.  Life has presented many "challenges" which have temporarily taken away my desire to write.  A new phase of life, a new normal is beginning to take place.  "Grownup Thoughts" is a way for me to get back that part of myself that wants to connect with a broader world.
     In addition to talking, writing is a way to express yourself.  You may have been thinking about and talking about about a subject for a long time before writing.  With writing, you have the time to contemplate, edit, and compose a product before sending your message.
     Each day adds to your storehouse of memories, emotions, and opinions.  Each day can  influence, change, and improve (or not) what goes on in your head.  When the body is consumed with dealing with the present,  your world can become narrowed temporarily.  Accepting disappointments and losses is part of designing a new normal.  Sometimes, we have to think back and realize we may have been wounded and have to heal and restore what makes us feel more complete.
     Just as speaking and listening form a partnership, writing and reading require at least two people.  I welcome feedback and comments.
