The Journey

Okay I had this wicked nightmare about a plane crashing in the jungle...I saw it like I was watching it.
It was so vivid. Scary dream.

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." Send this to a friend

Fletcher declares state of emergency

GOVERNOR SEEKS FEDERAL FUNDS TO HELP REPAIR FLOOD DAMAGE

STAFF, WIRE REPORT

FRANKFORT - Gov. Ernie Fletcher has declared a state of emergency in Kentucky after last weekend's storms that caused flooding, loss of life and property damage throughout the state.

Fletcher signed an executive order yesterday, which opens the way for the Kentucky Division of Emergency Management to seek federal assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Before that happens, however, the state agency must collect damage assessments from local emergency management directors. Officials have said that to receive federal aid the statewide threshold for damage is $4.8 million.

Likewise, the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government is asking people and businesses to report any flood damage from Sept. 23 so the city can seek federal assistance. Fayette County has to reach a specific monetary threshold to be eligible. Contact the Division of Environmental and Emergency Management with repair costs. To be added to the county's estimate, cost must not be covered by any form of insurance.

Buddy Rogers, public information officer for the Kentucky Division of Emergency Management, said his agency is still receiving damage reports. At least 20 counties and 20 cities have declared local emergencies because of the flooding. Rogers encouraged anyone who suffered damage from the storms to contact a local emergency management director.

The weekend storms dumped to 10 inches of rain throughout the state in about a 36-hour period and at least eight deaths were storm-related, including two in Lexington.
