Redefine the term normal

I have been having one of those restless days today. It's a bank holiday here in the Western part of Western Australia. I don't know why, it just is, and that's probably the reason. The weather has been perfect, a great day for laundry, gardening and taking a long walk - of which I've done all three. But it's not what I would term a "normal" day.

Today is just one of those days, when my goal list doesn't inspire me. I have completed a couple of major items from it today, but it was a hard slog...and hardly one of those joyous moments you expect when you achieve something momentous. But sometimes life is like that...a hard slog to get things completed so you can move onwards. Today has been one of those days when I could have quite easily have curled up in my bed and told the world I wasn't coming out to play today...but I didn't. I got on and did it anyway. Does that make me barking mad or just determined not to let my non-conscious brain get the better of me?

I'm sure you've all had some of those days, when you can rationalise giving up, of not doing all that you can do. Personally I would say that's "normal". But the difference between those who get on and do, are the ones willing to redefine the term normal.
