“When one door closes another opens. But often we look so long so regretfully upon the closed door that we fail to see the one that has opened for us.”

Spinster
Whenever I hear the term “spinster”, I think of an old undesirable woman who was never married; though she may have a lot of cats. In this day and age the word has a very negative connotation to it.
It was not always this way though. The word was originally used to identify women in medieval times who spun wool. This was one of the only positions available back then where a women could make a living independently of a man. It was a coveted position and allowed women freedom to make money on their own. It was a good thing to be a spinster!

From one of my favorite authors, Victor Hugo:
“The future has several names. For the weak, it is the impossible. For the fainthearted, it is the unknown. For the thoughtful and valiant, it is the ideal.”

Fairy Tales are more than true. Not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be defeated.
