Nice guys stay in our hearts long after “winners” crash and burn in our soul… You can not take away awards and honor from those who gave honest effort and the best within them. Thank you: Ernie… number 14!
Put ten miles on my bicycle… my first miles this year. Wonder’s of wonders the world seemed fresh and full of hope at the end and I wanted to do more… so I picked up my 1906 Underwood #5 and kept having fun!
At the keyboard of this 1956 Underwood… I decided that tomorrow I would strive for nice. The keys just lead me to such thoughts. Each time I sit down at this machine I strive for nice and now it inspires goodwill with a single touch. I have trained it for nice type… nice moods and goodwill thinking.
I will do it right one day… for now rubber bands, tape and glue get this 102 year old sly fox typing and looking good.
I want to not feel bad if I can’t meet my goals. I’m just not there yet. I guess I just set my goals to low; since I can meet them if I try hard enough. Perhaps if I had unrealistic expectations then it would not matter if I reach them. One day I will be mature enough to look at things that way… just not there yet.
I begin yet another year full of wonder and hope and joy…
Thanks to the excellent Typewriter Database I’ve changed the age of my Remington 10 from 1909 to 1921.
Well… I can’t help myself… Xmas rolls around and I think happy thoughts.
Some days you just feel fine and well… on this 1946 Royal I feel that way.
Among the many things I have strived for this year is to end each day on a upswing. No matter what the day may have been… I want to end on a positive. I think of my typewriters as a “muse” of joy. I only want positive thoughts to end up on my page. I wish for each day to end and begin with peaceful thoughts and hopes. Not a bad way to approach life.
