Oh well….

I wasn’t anticipating writing about Louisa May Alcott. For at least the past 20 years, I have addressed letters and packages to my sister Cindy as “Louisa May Alcott.” Every postal person knew from the address that it was my sister. I had the address correct, so the name was incidental. Smaller town. I’m sure that no one knew we both adored every novel by Alcott. I have our first copy of “Little Women,” which we purchased together when we pooled our money 50 years ago. Sigh…..

Here is the quote. It showed up in my notes and just reminded me of my sister.

“Far away, there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead.”
