Normal

OK.  This morning I read Dr. Kelly Flanagan*s blog on Life is a Mistake http://drkellyflanagan.com/2012/06/22/life-is-a-mistake-and-so-is-this-title/#comments

Now that I know how this seizure thing goes (third time around), I realize I don*t have to put my life on hold (or even semi-hold) for the time I am not driving.  This time I knew standing next to the vegetables in the grocery store that I needed to call home for a ride.  An hour later the seizure came.  This is progress, though maybe not the ultimate progress I would like.  Still, life continues right along as normal.  Just as I sit with clients and friends sit with me, life helps us consider our old normal and new normal.  Sometimes we even need to ask for a ride.

Sometimes I think

Life needs to go on hold.

Really it continues right along

As normal.

It is only my normal

That is different.

Life continues right along

As it always does:

In season,

Out of season.

Me?

I am back into

No-driving season.

It means

Once again,

I will have to depend

On others

In a different stage

Of normal.

Life continues right along.

It always does.
