Maya Angelou Thoughts
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 regardless of your relationship with your parents,
you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.
I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.
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 people will forget what you said,
people will forget what you did,
but people will never forget how you made them feel.

The autumn tree colour are veery beautiful and I loved all your words
Good morning, Lynne! Nice thoughts and words. I love the image of the lake, pretty scene. Have a happy Thursday and weekend ahead!
Beautiful sentiments Lynne and a beautiful image. Somehow, it all brought me down to Earth !! XXXX
Hi Lynne, I read BJ's post of thanks to a Michigan blogger for the bittersweet (a most wonderful and general gift) and I had to see who this Michigan blogger was, for you see, I am one, too! I'm over in Lansing and from your posts it looks as though you are on the west side -- maybe Montague (home of the rail trail!) I just wanted to say your photos are lovely and your posts very thoughtful. It's always nice to see other Michigan bloggers! So, hello!

Beautiful photo and I love those thoughts from Maya. She was so wise.
beautiful place, beautiful thoughts. thanks, lynne.
I have always loved this sentiment and especially today it seems very relevant to me ....I am going to write it in my journal and read it daily! Thank you my friend. :)
What a heart-warming and thought-provoking post. We all need to remember this every day. I just came by your blog, Lynne, and would like to follow along. I live in Ontario, Canada where the sun shines often no matter what the season. :) Deb
Heartwarming blog. Nice photos.
That is a beautiful scene. Have a quiet and peaceful day, Lynne.
Beautiful thought to go along with your beautiful picture.
I especially like the part about life going on.
It does.
Even though it would be nice sometimes, to stop this merry go round and get off!
Have a sweet weekend.
Warm wishes ~
