52 years to catch up

Dennis forwarded along a piece of chain mail titled, "Words of Wisdom from Maya Angelou," about a week ago, and it's still sitting in my inbox. And I swear, every other day or so, I click on it, read it, smile, and feel a little bit wiser. Anyway, I'm about to archive it (read send it into the bottomless gmail pit never to be seen again), so I thought I'd share a few of our favorites. Hey, spread the wisdom, spread the wealth.

"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 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 even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one."

"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."

The last one was too sappy to make the top 3, but it's so true, even for me and my elephant memory.
