Time and experience have taught me a priceless lesson: Any child you take for your own becomes your own if you give of yourself to that child. I have born two children and had seven others by adoption, and they are all my children, equally beloved and precious.

It's the way you ride the trail that counts.

Christmas, my child, is love in action. Every time we love, every time we give, it's Christmas.

I lay in the bed at the hospital and said, 'let's see what I have left.' And I could see, I could speak, I could think, I could read. I simply tabulated my blessings, and that gave me a start.

If we never had any storms, we couldn't appreciate the sunshine.

Life is not over because you have diabetes. Make the most of what you have, be grateful.

Happy trails to you, until we meet again.
