In April, Maya Angelou was interviewed by
Oprah on her 70+ birthday.
Oprah asked her what she thought of growing
older.
And, there on television, she said it was
"exciting." Regarding body changes, she said
there were many, occurring every day...like
her breasts.
They seem to be in a race to see which will
reach her waist, first.
The audience laughed so hard they cried. She
is such a simple and honest woman, with so
much wisdom in her words!
Maya Angelou said this:
"I've learned that no matter what happens, or
how bad it seems today, life does go on, and
it will be better tomorrow."
"I've learned that you can tell a lot about a
person by the way he/she handles these three
things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled
Christmas tree lights."
"I've learned that regardless of your
relationship with your parents, you'll miss
them when they're gone from your life."
"I've learned that making a "living" is not
the same thing as "making a life."
"I've learned that life sometimes gives you a
second chance."
"I've learned that you shouldn't go through
life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you
need to be able to throw some things back."
"I've learned that whenever I decide something
with an open heart, I usually make the right
decision."
"I've learned that even when I have pains, I
don't have to be one."
"I've learned that every day you should reach
out and touch someone.
People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat
on the back."
"I've learned that I still have a lot to
learn."
"I've learned that people will forget what you
said, people will forget what you did, but
people will never forget how you made them
feel."
Please send this to five phenomenal women
today.
If you do, something good will happen: You
will boost another woman's self-esteem.
If you don't...the elastic will break and your
underpants will fall down around your ankles!
;-) Believe me, I didn't take any chances on
MY elastic breaking....I sent it to a lot of
special women I care for.
