MONDAY MUSINGS: BECOMING

We do have choices in how we approach our lives. If nothing else we can choose our attitude each morning when we wake up. Of course it can be affected by circumstances but it is up to us how we behave and what we become...

Yesterday was a crummy cold weather day for Mother's Day.  Fortunately following that rule of not putting plants outside before this weekend was working in their favor. BUT, they weren't going outside yesterday either. So, gardening was out and instead of curling up with a good book, Netflix won out as my afternoon activity choice with watching the documentary Becoming about Michelle Obama's 2018 book tour by the same name.

31 stops must have been harrowing but our former First Lady's poise, grace and intelligence shone as she dealt with filled convention center spaces to intimate round table discussions. Her intentions to continue her work with the youth of our country is so needed.  Michelle Obama is a true mentor as she leads by example sharing her life's narrative. 

The critiques vary but this viewer came away feeling a loss of the Obama White House leadership but also with hope of what can be instilled in the leaders of tomorrow,  their potential of what they can become, class acts in their own rights...
