This is going to be a post that will also be followed up with a post-edit. But, in order to finish writing it, I am curious;
What lessons have you learned from good literature that have helped you in your lives?
Don't worry, if you need a week to think about it, I will ask this same question at the end of next weeks post.
I have learned many lessons from good literature. Some of the ones that have stuck with me are:
From David Copperfield :“Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen nineteen and six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery.” — Charles Dickens,
From Mockingjay: Some walks you have to take alone-Suzanne Collins
Next week I will be posting on something I learned from the King James Version of the Holy Bible. Regardless of what religion you choose or choose not to follow, the Bible is still a piece of literature, and an incredible book. And it has a lot of important messages; and a lot of messages that we can follow as mothers.
My post next week will be called: Martha vs. Mary.
Tuesdays in Tucson
Reading and learning,

From "The Glass Castle", but Jeanette Walls (one of my favorite books EVER) - It could be worse... so so so much worse.
