"The mood is feeling light..."

In all seriousness, my thoughts are adding up to random-est of things.
And I pre plan what to blog before I turn in.
But forget all about it when I wake up.
I don't even have a clue what I'm rambling about now. 
SKIP.

I woke up just in time to catch Oprah on telly.
I never was a fan of it, but today's topic got to me.
They got the author of EAT, PRAY,LOVE to discuss her book, of which is a top seller in the states.
It's gonna be turned into a movie where Julia Roberts plays as Elizabeth Gilbert( the author ).
Gilbert mentioned this, " At the point in my life when I was writing the book, I didn't even want to be me. But, here's Julia Roberts wanting to be me in a movie."
I was stunned and thought for a bit.
Before I could think through, she said something else.
"I found out that I was a much better person when I had lesser on my plate."
At this point I was tearing. 
Oprah then questioned, " So how did you figure that you were a better person when you had lesser on your plate?"
"Through my own painful experience."

Wasn't I in the same position?

"And to overcome all these, we got to learn to be selfish.
Selfish not referring to cruel and heartless.
Selfish , that we benefit from it but touch others with how we're willing to change our lives. A little skydiving will not pose any harm to the people around you."

Food for thought. Go 'eat' and 'digest'. (:
