“Lucinda avoided the devotion, but she wrote in her diary everything that she could be thankful for, and there was much.”

I have been thinking of a Gratitude Journal as a contemporary idea. #ChildrensClassicRead2023

TheBookHippie My grandma had a jar you put slips in it of gratitude then on bad days you took one out to read it. 2y

DivineDiana @TheBookHippie So interesting! I have one too! Again, it was a suggestion that I read a few years ago, thinking it was a new idea! #whatgoesaroundcomesaround #everythingoldisnewagain #historyrepeatsitself 2y

TheBookHippie @DivineDiana 🙃♥️ 2y

tpixie Great idea- a gratitude jar! I love Lucinda!! I do think it might be hard as a child of today to read this because of some of the old fashion grammar, but she‘s so plucky! 😉 (edited) 2y

DivineDiana Agree that the language could be a challenge for a modern child, but this mature child is loving it! 😂 2y

Kinda of reminds of what happened during the French Revolution, in which the revolutionaries started a new calendar system, which was to be more scientific and rational. https://www.britannica.com/science/French-republican-calendar #historyrepeatsitself

Yes, America, we DO need to learn the history of more than the “great men” of our own country.

I don‘t know if this is historically accurate or not, but my gut tells me it is, because people have always wanted to tell other people how to live their lives. #somethingsneverchange #historyrepeatsitself #sarahwoodbury #theworthysoldier

" I believe that the whole United States is mourning with me and if the death of my son can mean something to the other unfortunate people all over the world, then for him to have died a hero would mean more to me than for him to just have died."
