FW: Too True!

I ususally don't forward these, but this one's too good -- read to the last line!

< <When I was in my younger days,
< < I weighed a few pounds less,
< < I needn't hold my tummy in
< < to wear a belted dress.
< < But now that I am older,
< < I've set my body free;
< < There's comfort of elastic
< < Where once my waist would be.
< < Inventor of those high-heeled shoes
< < My feet have not forgiven;
< < I have to wear a nine now,
< < But used to wear a seven.
< < And how about those pantyhose--
< < They're sized by weight, you see,
< < So how come when I put them on
< < The crotch is at my knees?
< < I need to wear these glasses
< < As the prints were getting smaller;
< < And it wasn't very long ago
< < I know that I was taller.
< < Though my hair has turned to gray
< < and my skin no longer fits,
< < On the inside, I'm the same old me,
< < Just the outside's changed a bit.
< <
< < On a positive note...
< < 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 something 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.
< <
< <
< < Please send this to five phenomenal women today.
< < If you do, something good will happen: you will boost another
< <woman's self
< < esteem.
< < If you don't ... your left boob will drop off.
