Now to my questions:
Is this Normal?

You're connected to the Internet...so, yeah, it's normal.

Should I be concerned?

About what?  Failed attempts to connect to a system?  So what!? 

Any security tips, suggestions, thoughts? (I update regularly with
swaret (SlackwareTool), use strong random passwords, tcp wrappers)
Anyone know a good guide to hardening Slackware?
Anything else you'd like to mention?

Principle of Least Privilege, defense in depth.  Run only what you need to run, 
and secure as much as possible what you are running.  Provide multiple layers.  
For example, you can use the f/w to send all inbound SSH traffic to only one 
machine, and you can use it to restrict IP addresses and ranges as well.
