Happy Birthday to First Lady Michelle Obama!

You know, it isn't easy to find a recent news image of M. Obama where she isn't with the President, with her kids, surrounded by people during some activity in her official capacity, or making a "discredit" face, i.e. the published images in which women in public service are caught making an angry, silly, and/or open-mouthed expression. I had to go back two months to find this image of the First Lady, on her own, looking thoughtful and serene and, as always, totally gorgeous.
