Spinster Thought of the Weekend

"Don't laugh at the spinsters, dear girls, for often very tender, tragic romances are hidden away in the hearts that beat so quietly under the sober gowns, and many silent sacrifices of youth, health, ambition, love itself, make the faded faces beautiful in God's sight. Even the sad, sour sisters should be kindly dealt with, because they have missed the sweetest part of life, if for no other reason."
— Louisa May Alcott (Little Women)

Liberty

I put in my list all the busy, useful independent spinsters I know, for liberty is a better husband than love to many of us.

Au Naturel

One of the GREAT benefits of being a single gal is not shaving regularly.

Of course, that's also a great way to stay single... and anyway, it's time to start wearing shorts and sundresses again!!
