“We only get one life, and it’s better to spend it smiling than frowning. Not that that’s always easy. I know that as well as the next person. But I’d rather smile at what I’ve had and lost than be sad that it’s gone. Youth, health, husbands. All of them slip away eventually. We can’t stop that. I’m getting old, no matter what fancy face creams I use to try and delay it. And we can’t stop those we love leaving us too soon. But what we can do is make sure that we make the most of what we still have.”
