This book was a birthday gift and continues to be a gift every time I read it. Great little book full of simple yet fulfilling gems of "COMMON DAYS."
I'm lucky enough to have a 1923 edition which made this book all the more special.

From the Publisher
This neglected gem, first published by The Woman's Press in 1922 and undeservedly forgotten, is one woman’s book of common prayer, celebrating the pleasures, pastimes, and rites of passage that inform her year. From holidays to the turning of the seasons, from walking to train travel, from ink to coffee, Graham ponders the “Wonder of Common Days,” investing her favorite thoughts and activities with a spiritual significance that is unassuming yet unexpectedly profound. Filled with faith and fancy, and with fine attention to the hidden meanings of the simple things that feed the soul, Graham’s small volume will help readers to honor the blessings of their own days.

This is a hidden gem -- an exquisite little book published in the early 1920's. Small, but profound. A spiritual, not religious, rumination on the meaning of small moments and, in the bigger picture, of life itself. I read it in hardback, a signed edition from 1928.

Wonderful small essays on life. Written almost 100 years ago, but surprisingly contemporary and relevant.

This seems like it could have been written by Anne Shirley.
