When they go low...

Starting tomorrow, I'll strive to be more like Michelle Obama. Amazing woman that she is.

I don't always have the capacity to 'go high', but watching her navigate the hate and hostility directed at her is quite admirable.
I mean, she can't reasonably wallow in the gutter with the pigs that are always trying to denigrate her, but the moral fortitude she must possess 🤷🏾‍♀️. Just wow!

I personally will not be following her on that particular line of advice, at least not fully. I think there are occasions to go high and others to meet them in hell.

I swear Michelle Obama is made of sterner stuff than most!
Have always rated and respected her
More class and tenacity in her little toenail than the repulsicans all combined together

This is my belief too, but I wondered if I may be doing it wrong. I'll likely be unsuccessful, but I'm going to try.

She certainly has. I'd forgive her if just once, she gathered all these people together and 'told them some truths'; but maybe I just need to learn grace.

My head agrees, but my heart and my mouth can't seem to align.

That's it!
I'm still striving, but oh boy... 🤦🏾‍♀️
