Typewritings 03: How to Finish Every Day

quote· typewriter

5 Apr
On a light wood backdrop, a sheet of paper torn from a notebook with a typewritten paragraph: "Finish every day..." The text is in the body of the post. Above the paper are the edge of a white mug on a white macramé coaster and date stamp. At the top right is a vintage green typewriter. Below it are a roll of grey washi tape and a wooden stamp with a floral stem image. A partial piece of eucalyptus leaves at the bottom left.

Finish every day and be done with it. For manners and for wise living it is a vice to remember. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it well and serenely, and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense. This day for all that is good and fair. It is too dear, with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on the rotten yesterdays.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Typed on coffee-dyed dot-grid notebook paper with a 1950’s Groma Kolibri typewriter.

A retrospective journal spread for 2020...these ar A retrospective journal spread for 2020...these are some blank pages in the back of my planner and I’m flipping back through the months and weeks to document the things I started, finished, loved or hated, was blessed with or overcame.  I’ve set up space for 20 things (because 2020) but if I feel like turning the page and writing more I will. There are no rules to journaling. Wishing you all a lovely few more days of this year. 🤍

Earlier this year I made a commissioned piece for a virtual healing circle.  I was honored to contribute to such a beautiful and necessary event.  It’s now many months later ... but in the midst of pandemic and holidays and lockdown, it’s still important that Black lives matter.
