The norm for me is not normal
I like every day to be different
life more exciting in every way.
Constant normal is boring
so let’s bring on the band,
hear it play.
TRIFECTA 31.7.12 asks for exactly 33 or 333 words about Normal, using the definition a form or state regarded as the norm : standard

I love those last two lines! Sassy and confident.
Amen! Although, I have to say. . .I’ve moved 10 times in the past 10 years and have been on vacation for the past six weeks. I am ready for some normal! On the whole, though, I agree. I don’t know how some people just keep doing the same thing every day. Different strokes for different folks, I guess! Thanks for linking up! Also–what Uneven Steven said.
I love change, but normality is good, too.
I agree – constant normal is boring. It’s the abnormal that makes us feel alive
What a great approach to life! I imagine that I would like to be that way, but that’s not so easy to do.
I think yours is a wonderful approach to life. I try to do the same but I think I often fall short of my ambition to travel a less normal road.
I’m with you al the way on this. Life is meant to be lived, not existed
RYN: I’m originally born and raised in Brighton, England, but moved to Canada and this island in Jan of 2002. The whole population of this island is 39,000. Brighton has maybe 200,000 the contrast in crowds, traffic pollution, tempo of life is utterly different here and, it’s so beautiful. The only thing I hate is winter, the snow and ice. But it’s so much a safer place to live and raise a child. We are about 50 years behind everywhere else for crime and the kids are mostly good kids, but, even in the past 10 years through technology, times are rapidly changing and starting to catch up to elsewhere. You can see the kids now adopting ‘attitude’ Sad isn’t it!
That’s what we feel about where we live – a nicer pace of life altogether.
Hi viv,
Living life to the fullest … if we could all only have that as the norm… the challenge did not call for exactly 33 or 333 words but somewhere between those, didn’t want you to feel too constrained by the number of words but you worked well with only 33.
Oops! But I do like to make things difficult for myself!
