EACH DAY - A LIFE.
Let every dawn of morning be to you as the
beginning of life, and every setting sun be to you
as its close ; then let every one of these short lives
leave its sure record of some kindly thing done for
others. some goodly strength or knowledge gained
for yourselves. - John Ruskin.

I believe it says “tack a comfort.” To tack a comforter means that you sew together the top, batting, and bottom of the comforter. It seems to make sense for the entry.
