Quote of the Week!

If you find it in your heart to care for
Somebody else, you will have succeeded




Maya Angelo,

This is from my 70 year old Italian grandmother. Besides just completely loving this quote that she's found, I especially like that all emails from Nonie have "Nonnie" as the subject. The "Quote of the Week!" heading is also fantastic. And lastly, the fact that Maya Angelou has morphed into the Italian Maya Angelo (I'm pretty sure that Nonie knows who Maya Angelou is and has simply mis-typed the poet's last name, but I can't be sure) and that the email ends with a comma -- implying there's more to this -- not a period, which normally tells us the thought is finished... the whole thing just made my day. I forwarded this gem to my mother who within minutes typed back "hahah...where'd she get that???" to which I should have replied, "I suppose the same place all of us get this stuff, Mom."  ¶ 6:56 PM
