A song from the suds~ by Louisa May Alcott

A song from the suds~ by Louisa May Alcott
Queen of my tub, I merrily sing, While the white foam rises high; And sturdily wash and rinse and wring, And fasten the clothes to dry; Then out in the free fresh air they swing, Under the sunny sky. I wish we could wash from our hearts and souls The stains of the week away, And let the water and air by their magic make Ourselves as pure as they; Then on the earth there would be indeed A glorious washing day! Along the path of a useful life, Will hearts-ease ever bloom; The busy mind has no time to think Of sorrow or care or gloom; And anxious thoughts may be swept away, As we bravely wield a broom. I am glad a task to me is given, To labour at day by day; For it brings me health and strength and hope, And I cheerfully learn to say,~ "Head you may think, Heart you may feel, But, Hand, you shall work away!"

Simple Pleasures

Simple Pleasures
"I am beginning to learn that it is the sweet and simple things of life which are the real ones after all." Laura Ingalls Wilder

"When you feel out of sorts, try to make someone else happy, and you will soon be so yourself." ~Louisa May Alcott~

"If you dear little girls would only learn what real beauty is, and not pinch and starve and bleach yourselves out so, you'd save an immense deal of time and money and pain. A happy soul in a healthy body makes the best sort of beauty for man or woman." ~Louisa May Alcott~

Good Company

Good Company
My idea of good company...is the company of clever, well informed people, who have a great deal of conversation; that is what I call good company. "You are mistaken," said he gently, "that is not good company, that is the best!" Jane Austen

"Devote yourself to the business of your heavenly Father. Learn to lay down your life for others. In so doing, you will be prepared for the noblest and bravest of knights, and no rose will be sweeter nor more beautiful than you." Sarah Mally, Before You Meet Prince Charming

Aspiration!

Aspiration!
"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." Louisa May Alcott

A Godly Women~

A Godly Women~
"Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough, we need more women who are tender~ There are enough women who are coarse, we need women who are kind~ There are enough women who are rude, we need women who are refined~ There are enough women of fame and fortune, we need women of faith~ We have enough greed, we need more goodness~ We have enough vanity, we need more virtue~ We have enough popularity, we need more purity."
