Lovely quotes:
“To live in this world, you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.” ~ Mary Oliver

"Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible." ~ Dalai Lama

“Time is a created thing. To say ‘I don’t have time’ is to say, ‘I don’t want to’.” ~ Lao Tzu

feather covered pillow

February 27th, 2010 by Fond of Snape

Photohunt courtesy of TNChick:

Daily life…in 1910!

It says:

Did a good deal of housework. Felt much better today–but tired tonight–retiring at 8 P.M. Harry down in the afternoon and brought ? pillow which is covered with feathers. Spent about three hours on it and it still has quite a covering.
Inez called up.
Mary got home from Weston and Waltham.
Margerite gone camping in Gloucester with her cousins and Ester.
Net went in town had pictures taken.
B got butter (letter?) from Wallies.

   The housework must have been torturous. Not that there was a choice.

   I am now feeling guilty for grouchy feelings while I took the pile of dirty dishes in the sink, rinsed them off, and put them into the dishwasher.

   A pillow covered with feathers ? My grandma had pillows but the feathers were inside.
   I am glad that I wasn’t a woman at that time, or if I had to then at least a princess !

   That is really cool. Thanks for sharing. Sorry I’m a day late getting to your post, but great take on the theme.

   These might have been written in a blog or Facebook “Wall” if it were today. I like this kind of thing(I collect postcards and it is always a bonus to find a really old one with a message on it)

    That’s an interesting take on daily.

    I have something for you today.

    How cool! What amazes me the most is that the draw to talk about other people was present in 1910 as it is now! I guess human’s haven’t changed much.

    Wow. Even so, same old same old stuff.

    I find this kind of thing utterly fascinating. What people did, what they thought, how they behaved etc in times past. 1910 doesn’t seem that ancient when you see it written on the page, but it’s *GASP* a hundred years ago! Yikes…

    I wonder what people will be left with from this era? So many of us only ever write this kind of thing on the computer.
