Seems that 'normal' in these modern days gets reconstituted regularly by the media and all those that hate what real 'normal' stands for. love, and honor, and unity, and family, and a hand extended to those in need, thinking of others higher than ourselves - hard to find these attributes anymore in this world. Your write, dear Karen, reminds that 'normal' is still alive and well.

Those that understand the magic of family will never lose their identity; and in togetherness and fraternity will accomplish the unity of spirit and the spirit of unity.

"Normal" sings to family and creativity.

In gratitude and admiration,

A nice holiday poem that gives an image and "smell" of a wonderful busy kitchen with lots of Christmas treats. It's time for me to get out my cookie cutters, too.
