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 share this with at least one other woman
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....
