Break The Elastic!!
- 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."
Maya is one of my alltime favorite people. Thanks for reminding me why that is so.
Very well put!!
Watchingwolf, that was awesome! Thank you for posting!
Another thing she's said that's comforted me is something to the effect of .....you did the best with what you knew, and when you knew better you did better.
I had't heard of Mary Angelou, but she sounds like a great lady.
Thanks for posting this.
