"Jo's ambition was to do something very splendid. What it was, she had no idea as yet, but left it for time to tell her, and meanwhile, found her greatest affliction in the fact that she couldn't read, run, and ride as much as she liked. A quick temper, sharp tongue, and restless spirit were always getting her into scrapes, and her life was a series of ups and downs, which were both comic and pathetic." page 36 from the book........ this is how Alcott describes Jo March. Anyone who knows me for some time would know that am a copy of Jo and that this phrase fits me so good at it does for her. That's why in dark times or in very happy ones I feel I owe her so much because her story inspires me ever and always. As a result of that feeling i always scrap some notes addressed "Dear Jo".
