STREET LIFE

I’ve had a good laugh while learning something today (by the way, I read this from an O-Magazine) ...and even though we've learned some of this in life, it would still be worthwhile "reviewing' them and making sense of our "growing" older (?) or more mature(r?) each day... I’m posting this even to male friends,...and to celebrate with the women in their lives. Read on, nice to have on a rainy day (like here in Cebu...). How do you handle a rainy day, or a lost baggage? or an entangled Christmas tree lights by the way? Think about it, and grow old gracefully! Take care and live life fully!

Don't Break The Elastic!!

In April, I interviewed Maya Angelou on her 70+ birthday Maya really is a marvel who has led quite an interesting and exciting life. I 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. "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 something 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." Please send this to the phenomenal women of your life today. If you do, something good will happen: You will boost another woman's self-esteem. If you don't...the elastic will break and your panties will fall down around your ankles.
