The world is kinder in many ways than it was 50 years ago. As much as fear… and random evil is everywhere. The ability to see beyond appearance has allowed many to have opportunity and has expanded the quality of life for me. It is a …wonderful world…
It’s fun to just put aside time each day to type… to think out loud and let the words flow and thoughts grow as they wish. So… I think I might smile in the morning and see if the day is different than just getting up and letting the world set its on pace. I will control my destiny and be upbeat if I want to… which reminds me of something a English teacher once said about me: “I can see you standing in front of a tree… saying: “Grow!” I took this in stride… people talk to plants all the time.
Sometimes I will just walk away from an auction. The typewriter is good… the price is low but when I check out the other bidders and if they have less than 5 byes on E-bay I will not compete… (not until someone with double digit plus byes enters the picture) then I will re-enter. Dumb? Maybe… but I have enough machines to not want to get in the way of someone about to enjoy the world of typewriters.
Was it Star Wars? Yoda saying… “no try… its do or not do?” Never fully in sync with that. Trying is doing. To not try is “nothing”.  Success if often just the effort. Not the end result. I look back and think I should have tried more often. There are also things I tried and would not repeat… still as the poem goes… the worse thing in life is “if”…
Each day is different. And sometimes a day catches you by surprise by just being a nice day.
I wanted a phrase to show I’m into typewriters…. “drank the Kool-Aid” seemed to extreme. I’m not so absorbed that I live and think typewriters… but I can see my self five to ten years from now still owning and using them. So I thought… I bought the ribbon might as well use it.
