it's solitude sunday. our day to spend time with a book!
i became quite engrossed with the lincoln book today; reading about the entire year of 1864. the war is going better for the union army and lincoln secured reelection. soon lincoln will be assassinated; only four months remain for the war, lincoln as president and for his life. words he spoke in 1864 foretold this turn of events when he shared with a friend that he didn't think he would be long for life after the war ended. just like a movie one views over and over, the outcome is known but a different ending is wished. this is how i am feeling about reading the year 1865.
