Weekly Words to Ponder

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..'

If you do, something good will happen: You will boost another woman's self-esteem.

The Good With The Not So Good

My Spirit has been a bit low lately, however this week I am renewed. Let me say first, I want to celebrate the fact we have three females sitting on the Supreme Court. We were promised change and we are getting it as far as I am concerned. My favorite era was the 60’s and I feel we are reaping a few rewards from that time. So I feel really great about this. Now if we can all try and just give her a chance to prove herself, before tearing her down, would be step in the right direction.

This Oil spill has me a bit sad and questioning why we aren’t doing a bit more to save more of the 400 different wild life trying to survive man kind’s mess. I am not on the forefront so I won’t begin to criticize what is going on. However I am praying that the Universe takes over and assists these helpless creatures now.

My other thought of the week, is boundaries. Yep just boundaries, I was a bit shocked that a California High School Principle did not stop a “Chippendale” like strip show during a talent presentation at this High School. I previewed it, and found it not appropriate for this age group. I don’t understand this public behavior in a high school for any reason. It has been reported that the vice principle has been put on leave until this issue is investigated. I know this was bad judgment, however someone needs to take responsibility for the children they are paid to supervise.
