words to think on...

As I prepare for the holiest of celebrations...I am touched by the words of Maya Angelou....who as she turned 70 was quoted as saying that Life is still "exciting"

May the joy of Christmas and the hope of the coming new year give you pause enough to appreciate these words, also from Maya Angelou, and may your lives be just as exciting!!!

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  makingliving’ 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.'
