"...you may want time of your own, time to pursue talents or other personal interests. If you are rearing a family, you may feel this time will never come. You want it now. If you insist on having everything now--wife, mother, homemaking, and outside interests--you overcrowd your time and deny yourself the enjoyment of raising a family. How unwise. The time will come when your little ones will be gone and you will have time on your hands. As Shakespeare said, 'How poor are they who have not patience to wait.'" ~Helen Andelin
