The way it works is a letter stands for another letter. For example: AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW (does not apply to today's cryptogram).
Beware, the game is very addictive. If this is your first time, don't be intimidated, you’ll be solving them all within a few days. If you’re stumped, take a break and return to it.
PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and how you made out.
You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram ASK THE GROUP FOR HELP!
I suggest printing these out and work them on paper. If you need a little help you can copy and paste it to Hal’s Helper below.
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper, but I recommend that you do NOT look at the letter counter.

One last request. Feel free to post a fun or clever clue, the more tangential to the quotation the better, but please don’t put the actual words of the quote in the clue.
Have fun with today’s cryptogram and have a TERRIFIC TUESDAY.

This one solved itself. Reminds me of all the folks who are having bad hair days.
We got a few like that in America these days...
It appears that words 21 and 22 (the third and fourth words after the period) .. the contraction and the word after .. are in conflict, at least grammatically.

To BLUELancer,
I’m not surprised by the author’s grammar…... LOL.
When I first solved this cryptogram, I went to look up the author, because it was not someone I was familiar with. I could find no clue as to who she is. But I did find literally hundreds of quotes listed as authored by her. Quit a mystery!
nicely played!
I stumbled across that same problem, but instead of getting upset, I figured it had nothing to do with me. :-)
Yeah. About 30 seconds. The two contractions opened everything up right away.
The first six words came to me. Words four and six should be in everyone’s dictionary. Recognizable at glance.
