For all my fellow stressed out brides-to-be...
Someone emailed this to me - I figured I'd share...
In April 2005, 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 was 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."

Re: For all my fellow stressed out brides-to-be...
"I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance."
That's my favorite one. FH feels like he was given a 2nd chance at life and love when he met me.
Maya Angelou is such a great woman!!!

Re: For all my fellow stressed out brides-to-be...
I am so glad this was so well recieved - with all of the stressed out posts lately, I thought immediately of my girls!!!

Re: For all my fellow stressed out brides-to-be...
My favorites:
"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 dont handle any of the above situations well lol well, maybe a rainy day.
"I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life."
So scared of that because I know its true
