This is probably the most comprehensive collection of wisdom  about life that I've ever read.  I wish I had written it! LOL ........... I had to share it with you.  Won't you please take a moment to read wisdom's words at work... it'll do your heart good and I know you'll recognize yourself here, I did!

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.'

Sweet.  My two fave's are:

If someone offers you a breath mint or gum, take it.  You need it.

The way a man prepares his eggs and scrambles them will tell you everything about his character, temparament and personality.  And yours for that matter.
