I've Been Very Lucky And I Have

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 Do Try To Live Every Day As If It Were My Last, And It Has Worked For Me So Far.

I Discovered That Men Were Just Like Everyone Else, Really. They Liked You If You Were Good-tempered And Easy To Talk To. And Being A Big Girl Meant Other Females Trusted You More And Confided In You.

I Had A Very Happy Childhood, Which Is Unsuitable If You're Going To Be An Irish Writer.

I Think You've Got To Play The Hand That You're Dealt And Stop Wishing For Another Hand.
