So, I was one of millions that watched the DNC today. Although I side with no one, I felt compelled to watch for several reasons - some being, I like the entertainment, people watching, and the speeches.
So I watched Mrs Obama and first off, I must say, that her makeup artist, beautician, and stylist need a raise! I remember when she first took the national stage - one thing that constantly killed me were those eyebrows!! But they are tame now, and her edges are slick and her hair is bouncy. Love it! But that DRESS...can we say SUPER CUTE?? On a scale of 1-Fab, I give it a FABULOUS (that's 5 more letters than "fab" so that's saying something!)
Second, I must say - this is a woman who loves her man! You could see it all in the way she talked and in her body language. No doubt, there is some strong lovin' between the two. If things are rocky on the inside, you would NEVER know. They show what families of old used to be like - not this crap on TV. Which leads me to my point....
LADIES (single and married)....we are going to get enough of letting TV define what our marriages and relationships "should" be like. With shows like "The Bachelor" and "Love and Hip Hop" women are getting a skewed view of what real love is! It's NOT about materialistic things - it's not even about sex (pick up your mouths; yes, I know it's hard to believe). We spend so much time looking on the outside - and what a man can "give us" that if he can't give us what we expect to have - we skip right over him. Taking cues from these shows will leave us lonely b/c we will be chasing something forever that DOES NOT EXIST in a REAL relationship!
A REAL relationship consists of the two of you meeting each other right where you are, and growing together. It requires patience, kindness, not being boastful or prideful. It's not about being jealous of each other or each other's success. It's not about being RUDE to each other and calling each other out of your names when you are around or not around each other. It's not about being selfish and wanting your own way, it's not about being irritable and argumentative, and it's definitely not about keeping "score" on who was wrong and how many times. Do you want to know what it's REALLY about? Well, here's a clue, it's the opposite of ^^^that! *for bible readers out there, this should sound familiar. If you aren't read: 1 Corinthians 13:3-5 in the Holy Bible*
One thing that struck me is that Michelle recounted a time when the president would pick her up and an old rusted out car. She said she could see the street whizzing by through a hole in the door. Had she taken her cues of what a "man" is supposed to be like - she wouldn't be the 1st lady.
What I learned today: Keep messing around with TV shows and their definitions of relationships and women will find themselves lonely, crushed, and will miss THEIR next president.
