You say tomato, I say to-mah-toâ You say giblet (hard âgâ), I say giblet (soft âgâ) -- letâs call the whole thing off. And we did call the whole thing off, after I read Xâs blackberry seven years ago. I knew, in an instant, my perception of my marriage was all wrong. How did I get it so WRONG? What comes first? Perception or reality? Which begets which? And what wins in the end? Is there an end? Boy, this can get tiring. So I can sleep at night, I work on my perception. The new bra, the new face cream, Targetâs (soft âgâ) groovy magnifying reading glasses, now a necessity to read the New York Times, unwittingly mask the dark circles under my eyes. A solution for my vanity and vision. A two for one deal! I look better. I feel better. I see. For a moment. Then I realize Iâm the generic âblonde divorced womanâ dropping off the kids at school, interchangeable with one or more of the others in the blur of the schoolyard. Does the blur hurt? Or does it feel comfortable. Iâm not alone. My kids are still young enough to perceive me as great. And beautiful. But Iâm still relegated to the servantsâ quarters in their crayoned dream house. Everyone knows this is motherhood's reality, not perception. Do other peoplesâ perceptions shortchange me, make me less than I want to be or thought I was? Does it challenge me to look better, act differently and therefore become someone I am not? We are constantly updating ourselves, and constantly revised and altered by others. But in the end, or even in the middle, there is one big bowl of chicken soup for the soul.
