At least I died trying. And I won. I never gave them away. I never hurt them. I did my best to find them. I tried to keep my promise. . . I die for them.
I think my life actually changed at 40. That's when you realize you can't ride the fence anymore. You either have to get on one side or the other. I think some of my best years were between 40 and 50: I got my priorities straight and life is good to me now. It's only other people who say, "God, she's 50 years old!" as if I'm over the hill. I feel like I just started.
