thoughts on the news of the day: life lessons

hmmm…..
            Last night I got an email from Oprah Winfrey (me and tens of thousands of other folks!).  She said that she would be back tonight on her television station OWN.  I missed Oprah.  Withdrawals from her daily talk show were painful.  I didn’t get to see her much on her 4:00 time slot – work got in the way.  But thankfully she was on again at 9:00 p.m. and I rarely missed her.
            OK, so I am being a little facetious.  I am not really that big a fan, but I do miss her.  The new show is supposed to be a “life lessons” show.  I wonder what Oprah will have to share after 25 years of daily shows on basically the same thing.  I will tune in tonight to find out, at least I plan to at the moment.
            However, in my opinion, life lessons can be learned anywhere at any time.  Mostly we just have to pay attention.  When things don’t go our way, or when things do, I think the universe is trying to tell us something.  Something like: life is grand,  forgiveness is inevitable and acceptance is the key.  Simple concepts but vital for a happy life.
            Pay attention to Oprah’s new life’s lesson show tonight.  But better yet, pay attention to life.
            hmmm…..
