Normal People

I used to think that I only wanted to spend time with people who "get it." People in the adoption and foster care world often don't feel understood by anyone else.

However, I have concluded that being with people who are "normal" and have regular lives can be refreshing. People who have one or two kids, who have reasonable jobs, hobbies, etc. can give me perspective. I have learned a lot by incorporating some of these "normal people" into my lives.

So today I had lunch with a normal person and it was fun and refreshing and gave me perspective.

And that's a good thing.

Where did you find this so-called normal person? I could use some perspective!

Or some denial. Whatever. :-)
