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 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."

She is a beautiful, beautiful woman. One of my heros.

Here is another,

"When life surrounds me with problems,
I remember
No question can be asked
If the answer is not
Already in the universe."
