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..''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.'
