You Can't Lay Down Laws For What

When I Was Younger, I Avoided Exercise Or Anything Strenuous. I Didn't Even Enjoy Walking. As I Got Older, I Spent So Much Time Marking Books Or Sitting At A Desk Writing That There Was No Room For Exercise - Not That I Would Have Bothered Anyway.

My Brother Married Young, And His Is The Best Marriage I Know.

Of Course I Wanted Children. Bright, Gorgeous, Loving Children. I Could Almost See Them.

I Don't Have Ugly Ducklings Turning Into Swans In My Stories. I Have Ugly Ducklings Turning Into Confident Ducks.

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.
