A Balance of Harmonies: Perfection

Karma or comeuppance or whatever you want to call it exists and has made a difference in my life. Or maybe it just seems that way. 

Let me just start by saying that I was a child with dearly held beliefs (judgmental). When I was in kindergarten the teacher gave tests, one of which was a maze and we weren’t allowed to erase. I made a mistake and wanted to fix it and was told no. I got angry (so angry that I remember it 30 some years later). Not in the yelling, screaming way, but by quietly tell myself that I would never like or trust anyone with her last name ever again.

As a teenager I thought all boys my age were immature (they were), but I remember telling someone that I wouldn’t date a guy younger than me (they made me think of my little brother) and my birth date wasn’t the cut off, my sister’s was (she’s fifteen months older than me) I said even one day younger than my sister was too young for me. (That this was to a woman that was two years older than her husband didn’t stop my tongue. She did what was good for her and I would do what was good for me.)

And throughout my life my sister always got lots of attention for her baby blonde hair. I hated that. I knew my auburn was prettier than her blonde and anyway lots of people have blonde hair while my color was practically unique. I decided I wasn’t interested in blonds.

So of course I married a blond one day younger than my sister and now share a last name with my kindergarten teacher (although I don’t believe she is related).
