So what is “NORmaL” to you?

Being normal to me, is being able to accept myself as I am in totality.  It is being able to accept myself as our maker has made me- including all the trails, challenges, and joys of my life. Seen and unseen-  It is being able to accept  what happened to me when I was only 5 months old. And, it is being able to see the whole of me despite what others may think.  Which really is none of my business at all!

My business is to continue to carry on- it is to continue to be the best person I can be no matter what. Normal to me, is learning about myself, and reaching beyond in all area’s of my life- mentally, physically, and spiritually- It is truly being able to see how my maker wanted me, to rise above these challenges, that have not only confronted my spirit, but have shown me who I am, even with my Cerebral Palsy, and a learning disability, and what I could become, achieve, contribute to the world, and rise above…

“Being normal” could also be what we think others want us to be. That we don’t “fit in” or act or speak, or dress a certain way. Normal to one person is not normal to another, as we all see things in our lives, in a different perspective and light.  We all have thoughts, and feelings, and issues, that we deal with on all different levels.   However, if we could not lay labels, barriers, and stigmas on others human beings, to make them feel ugly, inferior, or desperate inside, because of our own belief system, or what society make us to believe- we would find out that we are “ALL normal”

Everyone is different and unique in their own birthright.  You can see some disabilities while not others.  Who is it then, for us to judge another person, or say what is “NORmaL” .
