Grandma Moses: Citations en anglais

“I look back on my life like a good day's work, it was done and I am satisfied with it.”

Grandma Moses : My Life's History (1951)
Contexte: I have written my life in small sketches, a little today, a little yesterday, as I have thought of it, as I remember all the things from childhood on through the years, good ones, and unpleasant ones, that is how they come out and that is how we have to take them.
I look back on my life like a good day's work, it was done and I am satisfied with it. I was happy and contented, I knew nothing better and made the best out of what life offered. And life is what we make it, always has been, always will be.
