I got this in an email (some of you I already sent it to)
In April, Oprah interviewed Maya Angelou 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 when ever 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!
