Thumbs up

I guess I'm the odd ball. I actually like Oprah. I think that it's important for talk show host to use this medium in educating people across the board on things that are important and common in our lives. Things such as relationships,family life, health issues, and dealing with an age crisis.

Just this last week she did a show on college students and those who are resent graduates. They discussed issues of feeling inadequate, depression, not realizing that they are now adults, wanting to please and make family members proud. These are things that all of us probably went through or are going through. We would never know that their are others who have the same issues unless we talk about it.

I especially love the use your life award. I find myself crying almost everytime because these people sacrifice so much to help those that are in need of their services.

Remembering your spirit has the same affect. I just enjoy seeing real people talk about what they've gone through in their lives and how they've overcome life's obstacles.

Now Dr. Phill is cool but he's starting to get on my nerves. I don't think it's necessary for him to appear on the show every Tuesday. I guess they signed a contract.

Overall I give Oprah a big thumbs up for adressing issues that profoundly affect all members of our society.

I know this post has gone way off the original topic, but I just wanted to put my 2 cents in.
