On a recent flight, I was thrilled to find that Maya Angelou was the feature celebrity in the Thanksgiving issue of American Way. Her words and wisdom have shaped my world in so many ways, and this interview did not disappoint. Speaking about the Thanksgiving Holiday, she says:
"I'm grateful for being here, for being able to think, for being able to see, for being able to taste,for appreciating love-for knowing that it exists in a world so rife with vulgarity, with brutality, and violence, yet love exists. I'm grateful to know that it exists.And I am grateful I'm able to share it with so many people."
With her amazing brilliance, she captures what I believe most; happiness is not found in counting what you have but by appreciating how much you have been blessed with. May you count those blessings with those you love, and cherish every minute you have together over this Holiday and many to come. God Bless!
