BONUS!!!!




My Aunie sent this to me. I am sharing it with you just to give you a better idea of what I am like.
Please keep in mind that I am IN NO WAY comparing myself to this GREAT LADY. We just share simular views.

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 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."

Hey, nice ideas for a blog. See what you think of my website about children's toy store. I know it can use some work, but I have all kinds of children's toy store to see. Thanks!
