I Do Try To Live

I Have Been Luckier Than Anyone I Know Or Even Heard Of. I Had A Very Happy Childhood, A Good Education, I Enjoyed Working As A Teacher, Journalist And Author. I Have Loved A Wonderful Man For Over 33 Years, And I Believe He Loves Me, Too.

I Thought It Must Be Desperate To Be Old. To Wake Up In The Morning And Remember That You Were Ancient - And So Behave That Way. I Thought Old People Were Full Of Aches And Pains And Horrible Illnesses.

In My Stories, Whenever There's Somebody Wonderful And Charming And Bright And Intelligent, That's Me!

We're Nothing If We're Not Loved. When You Meet Somebody Who Is More Important To You Than Yourself, That Has To Be The Most Important Thing.

After My Hip Operation, I Had To Cut Out Butter, Which I Loved, And Salt. I No Longer Eat Desserts With Lots Of Cream, And I've Cut Right Back On Alcohol.
