Women Who Start Out As Ugly Ducklings

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

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.

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

I've Been Very Lucky And I Have A Happy Old Age With Good Family And Friends Still Around.

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.
