Maya Angelou

I don't really like sending out forwards, but sometimes there are good ones out there.  A former neighbor of mine sent me this, and I thought there was some good stuff in it.  Instead of forwarding this I'm just going to put this here.  I find a lot of her wisdom very inspiring!

Here ya go...

Don't  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.'

Please  send this to five phenomenal women  today... and back to me if you think I'm one  also.
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 want to take any  chances on MY elastic breaking..... I sent it to a lot of special  women I care  for.

There you have it!  I hope you enjoyed, and have a great day!
