I received this in an email and loved it and want to share.
"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."
love to you all esp the women today!!!

What a lovely post, Amy. Thank you. And good luck tomorrow. I'll be thinking of you. (I think you're an Angel in Disguise and you know why, but I promise I won't say in public, lololol.)
"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 ."
Ahem, DeNae... how much duct tape was involved? What can we tell from this? LMAO
Love,
Gina

Gina, I was provoked, I tell you! Provoked!
And what about the way I handle rainy days?? Don't I get a little credit for that? Come on, Gina. Throw me a bone, here.
Amy,
What a great post! I love Maya. She is one of the smartest women alive.
I will keep you in my prayers and I'll be thinking of you tomorrow.

Good one, Amy.
I don't do Christmas lights, wonder what that means? lol
Gina, give the poor girl a bone. DeNae, I happen to know you manage rainy days wonderfully.
Duct tape?
Love, Kat

Thanks Kat.
I "think" Gina is referring to the pre-lit tree I bought for Christmas. After it was assembled and partially decorated, the bottom half of the lights went out. So, I did what any decent redneck would do. I threw it back in the box and used a half of a roll of duct tape to close it up, before I returned it.

Sounds like a perfectly reasonable thing to do, especially the whole idea in the first place.
As stated before, I don't do lights. I don't even like to be in the room. Husbutt does the lights, then the kids decorate. When they're all gone I might adjust everything or hang some candy canes.
The kids have been asking to put a tree up since Thanksgiving. I'm still procrastinating.
A pre lit tree in a box sounds perfect to me. (even better if it comes with ornaments and folds neatly back into the box the day after Christmas,lol)
So what does this say about us?
I do okay with rain and luggage...I think. lol
Love, Kat

Hey Guys,
Thanks for the well wishes. I'm still awake. lol. I'm always like this before surgery. Anyway, I have a prelit tree this year. My father use to make us redo the lights on the trees as kids as they were suppose to be upright like candles on a tree. lol. Now days I don't care how they get on there!!! lol. Rainy days are good and luggage lost means I don't have to carry it. So I guess it's all good.
I love you guys,
Amy
