1966 – Interracial marriage and the Year of the Horse.

I think the most interesting fact about my year of birth is that my parents were in an interracial marriage when I was born and I am a U.S. citizen. Interracial marriage did not become legal in the U.S. until 1967. I was born in the Netherlands and that is where they were married. I ended up moving to the U.S. when I was 5. Times have changed a bit.

People born in the year of the Horse are said to be energetic and free spirited in nature. I guess it’s somewhat true. I wish I was a little more energetic! They are also adaptable – I agree with that. They are kind and social creatures. I am kind but the social creature part has dwindled. I work retail and have for a very long time and unfortunately for me a side effect of the job is that my love for being around other humans is just not there anymore.

For 2025, I will be working on some major changes and can’t wait for the happy social creature to come out again.
