Wanted to share what I got in the email today from my aunt...
In April, Maya Angelou was interviewed by Oprah (on her show) for Dr.
Angelou's 74th 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, she said. The audience laughed so hard they cried. Dr. Angelou
also said:
"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 something 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, (can you feel my 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."
After many months of not writing an entry in this journal, I find my mind FULL of things I want to say and write about now!!! But since its late (almsot 2.30am), I'll hopfully continue writing tomorrow. My days and nights are totally in reverse...I'm so screwed! Yesterday I finally slept at 9am!!! I just have so much going on in my mind.
