Sometimes all you need in love is to make each other happy, to make each other laugh. So long as you can still do that ten years down the line then I think you're gold. Never let the laughter slip from your relationship.

The most important thing I can tell you about aging is this: If you really feel that you want to have an off-the-shoulder blouse and some big beads and thong sandals and a dirndl skirt and a magnolia in your hair, do it. Even if you're wrinkled.

Home is a refuge not only from the world, but a refuge from my worries, my troubles, my concerns. I like beautiful things around me. I like to be beautiful because it delights my eyes and my soul is lifted up.

Remember, people will judge you by your actions not your intentions. You may have a heart of gold but so does a hard-boiled egg.

My wish for you is that you continue. Continue to be who and how you are, to astonish a mean world with your acts of kindness.

Love recognizes no barriers.

I long, as does every human being, to be at home wherever I find myself.
