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."

"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."

People that have the hex will understand. People that don’t are the others. Since 10/11/99 I have known the hex. 10/11/99 I found out I had a monster attacking my brain. And from that point forward I became someone with a hex, not an other. From that point on I was Bob The Brain because of a brain tumor. It was a random act of misery. There are people that get the same invitation to the hex club everyday. And when the radiation took my hair then it was a visual cue to me and the others. Since moving to Pa, I have heard about someone’s wife, father, ex-husband, family co-worker, and a few others that I am forgetting I am sure, all that have passed or fighting the brain hex. It is almost spookey to be around all these people and almost inspirational, I think the others that have been affected by this monster might be happy to talk to someone that is here and alive. I am a hex survivor, although I did have that dream last night that I was back in the hospital.
