Amusing Wisdom

Quotes from Maya Angelou

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 seemed to be in a race to see which will reach her waist, first. My mother sent me this by e-mail and I thought they were worth sharing:

'No matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow!'

'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.'

'Regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.'

'Making a 'living' is not the same thing as 'making a life.'

'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.'

'Whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.'

'Even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.'

'Every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.'

'I still have a lot to learn.'

'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 people today...
If you do, something good will happen: You will boost another person's self-esteeem.

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 people. This was the part where I doubled up laughing...hope you enjoyed.
