I'm One Of The Most Fortunate People

I Tried To Allow My Children To Take Risks, To Test Themselves. Better Broken Bones Than Broken Spirit.

Early In Life, I Decided That I Would Not Be Overcome By Events. My Philosophy Has Been That Regardless Of The Circumstances, I Shall Not Be Vanquished, But Will Try To Be Happy. Life Is Not Easy For Any Of Us. But It Is A Continual Challenge, And It Is Up To Us To Be Cheerful - And To Be Strong, So That Those Who Depend On Us May Draw Strength From Our Example.

Birds Sing After A Storm; Why Shouldn't People Feel As Free To Delight In Whatever Remains To Them?

I'm One Of The Most Fortunate People In The World.

I Tell Myself That God Gave My Children Many Gifts - Spirit, Beauty, Intelligence, The Capacity To Make Friends And To Inspire Respect. There Was Only One Gift He Held Back - Length Of Life.
