It Is Selfish To Concern Oneself With

I Am Just An Old-fashioned Girl.

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.

I Looked On Child Rearing Not Only As A Work Of Love And Duty But As A Profession That Was Fully As Interesting And Challenging As Any Honorable Profession In The World And One That Demanded The Best That I Could Bring To It.

When I Think Of My Past, I Try To Dwell On The Good Times, The Happy Moments, And Not To Be Haunted By The Bad. . . To Me The Gift Of Life Is Contained In The Command, Whatever Happens: "don't Let It Get You. Just Keep On Going." Thus, I Try To Think Of The Good That I Have Already Experienced And What Will Still Be Coming.

The Time Will Come When It Will Disgust You To Look In The Mirror.
