Change of Plans
I had another post ready for today. Then life happened, as it does, and tragedy struck this country yet again, and it makes me want to learn from people who have lived more and seen more than I have. People who have seen there is a way to move forward. People who have seen that there really isn't any other way to move. Maya Angelou always seems to have words that make sense of things that are hard to make sense of. So I did a little digging and found this list of reflections she made on her 70th birthday. May we all learn a little something from this life...
“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.”
Love Love Love,
Kat (and Maya)
