I feel blessed: having a family is something that I've always wanted. Having a second child is the realization of a dream come true.
I celebrate life every day. I just wake up and say, 'Thank God. I have a bed. I have my husband. I have my baby.'
It's weird to say, but every time I look at my daughter and I see this little living breathing thing that came from me, that represents all of the hopes and dreams that I would want for her, I see a miracle.
It's wonderful to know you're aging, because that means you're still on the planet, right?
Nature best teaches how to pray, and how to reverence all the gifts the Almighty has given us. She is like a vast outspread handkerchief, embroidered with God's eternal name, on which we may dry alike our tears of sorrow and of joy; she turns weeping into ecstasy, and fills our hearts with speechless, quiet reverence and resignation.
Death isn't a funny thing. We're all lucky to be living.
Just to be is a blessing. Just to live is holy.
I think I have the best house in the world. I thank God to have it. I thank God that I finished it. And I hope that I will live enough to take profit of it.

My biggest fear ever is to be involved in a plane crash, so when that happened... well, I'm just thankful to be alive. I'm just grateful to be here at all.
I'm alive. That's a good thing.

My friends ask me if I want more kids, and I always say yes, I want more; it's the best thing you can have in your life.
Children give life a reason to be - they make life.
I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse; therefore choose life, that you and your offspring may live.

To be totally honest with you, I'm so happy to be alive every day.
The best of me now lives on in my two little women, baby girls I was lucky enough to be able to make with my own body.
