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.
Today I went to read an on-line article of a major newspaper and a pop-up declared I had to sign up for digital plus… this was free as long as I read no more than 5 articles a month (I’ve been known to read that many in a hour). Not sure if the less interesting… less detailed articles will remain free… I don’t mine paying for news… I but 5 free a month? That’s not enough for me to get a feel for the depth and breath of the newspaper to want to read all the time and subscribe.
Any way… Typeoh is still free for anyone to read. Unlimited reading all day… everyday.
GEE
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.
My first post felt special. My 50th made me giddy. I sought out a 100 year old typewriter to mark my 100th post but was sent a 85 year old one by mistake. The 200th was full of images. Now I reach 300 and this blog is both more than I ever expected and less than I had hoped. The reality is wonderful… the dream just fades like a pleasant memory. No regrets for what is… more words are waiting to reach paper… Thank you everyone for your time. You have filled my time and life with insight…. support and kindness. 66 more to go then who knows.
Gee!
