1. We are when we are not sleeping and are up and walking.
2. We definitely have a set pattern to our daily life.
3. Our lives seem to occur naturally.  We go with the flow of the day.
4.  a; We both have college degrees.  That seems to almost give us average intelligence.   b.  Still in debate on this one
5. Do not think this is applicable in our situation.
6. When we do not have trouble with our ears, we seem to have our balance.
7. Life does seem to flow quite nicely.
8. Once I figure out what this one was really saying in normal terms I might be able to answer it.

Normal is always in the eye of the beholder.  What is normal for one family is different for another.  Our days of running the children to school, practice, rushing home to make dinner, doing homework, giving baths, etc. are over.  Now our pets determine what is the normal routine in our home.

What is normal in your life.  Do you see a different normal in 5 or 10 years?  Leave me a comment and tell me.

Thank you for reading.
