    Some thoughts for your day

    Wife emailed me this one , thought this lady has some good points.

    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 everyday...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 treelights."
    "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."

    I have no idea who this "Maya Angelou" is but it does seem like wise words. I'll get back to you when I'm 70+.

    I'm a bit surprised though...Oprah ?? you watch that
    Now the past is over but you are not alone
    Together we'll fight Sylvester Stallone
    We will not be dragged down in his South China Sea
    of macho bullshit and mediocrity

    I don't watch Oprah much (because it's on when I'm working, and I don't like it enough to tape it), but when I do I really like it. I like the feel good stories, fans meeting their idols and watching the crazyness when the audiance realises each one of them is getting thousands of dollars worth of tech equipment (or as once happend, a car!)
