FLOWER QUOTE: BE THANKFUL Nov 25, 2019
Be Thankful

MY TWO CENTS
Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough… I think Oprah said it best. Happy Thanksgiving!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Who doesn’t know Oprah Winfrey (b. January 29, 1954) Admittedly, I wasn’t sure what to share about Oprah, as most people know of her and something about her life. This weekend, though, I came across an interview with her in Vogue magazine that I completely forgot I had. It was a very poignant article, partly about what she viewed as a box office failure of the movie ‘Beloved’. She became very depressed for six weeks and didn’t want to do anything. I know I can’t imagine Oprah feeling depressed with all of her success, but it happens to everyone. No doubt this box office ‘failure’ was part of her journey, learning to deal with disappointment and leading her to be the complete person she is intended to be. I appreciate knowing that even Oprah has challenges and has to work to overcome them, too. She has rallied, though, and is as busy as ever with the OWN channel, release of ‘A Wrinkle in Time’ coming in March, working with 60-Minutes, and her books of reflection like ‘The Wisdom of Sundays’. Who knows what else she is working on to continue to inspire us all.
