Oprah Changes After Her Dog Dies
I recently read about how Oprah is slowing her life down because she realized that living life at a fast pace (like her dog did) was not good. I don’t agree. Her dog lived life HER WAY. Oprah says that she was “always so full of joy”.
So why would you want to change your life to live differently? To live slower? Wouldn’t that lessen how full of joy you are? I can’t help but wonder “Should I live life the way I want to and be full of joy, even if it is a riskier life than slowing down and living life the way I “should” live it … even if it means I give up being full of joy? Ummmm, I don’t think so!
“She never stopped moving. Was energy in motion. … I have never seen a being, human or animal, always so full of joy,” Winfrey says of Gracie, who ran amok and gulped food and treats. “This dog lived every moment as though it were her last.”
Winfrey says she “got the message” to slow down and catch her breath when Gracie died.
