Tell Me Something Good, Tell Me That You Love Me...

This is Maya Angelou, who besides being a beautifully wise person and an amazing poet, she happens to be an Aries and shares my birthday too (so how can she not be cool). Below you can read a quote of hers. A friend of my mom gave us this quote and it just fits. This quote seems to speak to me like a familiar friend. Here's hoping that it does the same to you.

“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 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 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 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.”
