A New Normal

A new normal. Why call this blog a new normal?  Simple, when the old normal is gone, a new normal takes its place.  The new normal is what you make of it.  For me it is a much, much happier place! It is continuing to evolve as well.  It's not perfect, but neither is life.  Because life is something that you really can't predict.  I mean you can try to map it out but you never really know what it will bring.

I am sure most people can relate to that, right?  I think humans are wired to try to control things. Especially things that concern our own lives.  You don't plan on bad things happening, in fact, you do everything to avoid bad things from happening, but they do, don't they.

For instance, I had planned to be married to one woman all my life, but things happen, people change.  It takes two people to keep a relationship going and for my plan, it just didn't work out. I won't go into details because if you didn't live it you won't understand it.  I also had several Christian "friends/brothers" who I thought were lifetime friends, only to discover that when the going got tough, they bolted.  In all fairness though, they are humans and they chose sides.  I get that. My sins apparently were too great for them to still be friends with both me and my ex-wife.  And that's ok.  But that is for a different writing to come.

So for now I will leave it there.  I just wanted to start writing again!  I will leave you with this.  I used to hear that there were only "two things you  could count on in life; death and taxes", I would like to add one, change!  Nothing stays the same, we evolve, we change, situations change, we get married, we have kids, they grow up, we change jobs, we make money, we lose money...Change is constant.

There really is a New Normal...
