ME time

Michele Obama looks great.  She works out.  She tends her garden (someone else weeds it).  She is involved in important social issues and is making a marked impact on our culture.

The counterpoints are that she has to live in a spot light that she never wanted and she has any number of duties and obligations because of her husband’s job.

But her husband, known to many as — well — “Michele’s husband”, has a really hard job.  While she is looking better every day, he is aging a decade each year.

Her secret is that she safeguards her “me time”.  Her most recent “me time” was an extra week alone in a Hawaiian paradise while her family jetted back to Washington — the kids had to go back to school and her husband had to save the free world, or at least rein in the NSA.

I don’t know about Michele Obama’s life and challenges.  And, of course, what we read is the approved version that bespeaks an incredibly evolved person.

So I can only go on what I read.  Compared to Michele, I am not an incredibly evolved person.  (But my arms are in pretty good shape.)  I have really bad days and sometimes I feel like a caged animal.   I have to do lots of things I don’t want to do.

So I am thinking that I need an entire “me DECADE“.

Aloha.
