The dictionary describes a Spinster as one whom spins thread for a living.  Since I do not possess a spinning wheel nor would even know how to begin to spin, I must be of the other class of spinsters---an unmarried woman regarded as being beyond the age of marriage.  How sad that sounds!

As my introduction stated, I had no intent on becoming a spinster.  It was not a life ambition!  I did not set out on living by myself.   And yet, here I am.  Living solo.  Well, I do live with a dog.  At least it I have not become a cat-lady on top of my spinsterhood!

All kidding aside, I love my life, I love where I live, and I am fairly succesful in many ways.  I just feel the need to examine how spinsterhood happens to us unsuspecting gals!
