Good Morning Everyone,

Now, it just seems to me, at least as of this writing, that I find myself wondering whether or not all of this is actually worth the effort that I am putting into it all, but what else is there that I can do. I need to be doing something more with my life then what I see some of the other people that I know are doing with their lives. 

Part of it is that I know that I need to be working, and that if I don’t work I don’t eat, but there are times when I wonder if that is all that there is to life. To labor for three score and ten, or by reason of strength, four score, and then what happens. What have we done of any real importance with our lives. Knowing that are lives are more then the sum total of what we have done, but what we leave behind. 

Something of greater value then what can be measured in dollars and cents. Maybe I am just being to much of a dreamer and reaching for something that is so far beyond me, that it may never br reached, but what else can I do mat this point in my life other then to just keep on trying, to keep on believing, praying, doing.

To keep on working for a company, that in the end, really does not care, but tells you that it does. I am sure that they do care, as long as you are able to keep on doing all of the things that they are demanding of you, and to do it willingly. 

Maybe I am just being much to cynical and that the only thing that I know right now is that at my age, I am getting to be to old of a pony to be starting over. If I was twenty or thirty years younger, then the whole thing would be a no brainier. That is not where I am in my life right now, and it just does not seem to be getting any better. Well it is what it is and nothing more.

At the same time, I should be thankful that I still have a job, but there are times when it does get hard to be thankful when you feel that it is starting to unravel, and there is nothing that you can do but to help it fail, or at least that is some people are saying. In the end, the only thing that I know right now is that it is just what it is and nothing more. 

Sorry, didn’t mean to take you down this road, but there are times when the only thing that I can do is just go where the muse is taking me, or where it is that I think that the muse is taking me. I know that I am sounding cryptic in all of this, but I am not in a position where I can start saying all of the things that I would like to be saying about the position that I am in as far as my employment situation is concerned.

Some day soon though, I do hope to be able to unload. Until then, this is simply going to have to do. Thank you for your understanding.

It’s all good. So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

​It’s Just A Thought.

It’s just a thought, but would my world stop turning if I took one night off from all of this writing. I am sure that it would not, but it seems that I am getting to the point in my life where I do not have all that many days that I feel that I can afford not to write. Either way, the only thing that I know right now is that this is just what it is and nothing more. 

So I just keep on doing what it is that I am doing in the hope that it will all change for the better, not that all of this is the worst. It is still good. So it goes. Press on regardless.

​more coffee, more jazz

there is always more coffee
there is always more jazz
but there is never enough time
why is that

sometimes
the only thing left to do
is to try and call it a night
be even then 
it seems that each day
when it seems that it is just getting started
is just starting to finish
and the sooner that I try to make better use of my time
the better off I am going to be

Good Morning Everyone,

There are times when I am truly believe that the Democratic members of Congress are going after Trump, not so much that he has done anything wrong, and they have yet to prove it to me anyway. I think that the Democratic members are going after Trump because he won the White House and Hilary didn’t. 

Not that I am such a big fan of Trump, but Clinton was scaring me even more. So the only thing that I can do is toot my tin horn and hope that I will at least get acknowledged. 

Maybe I will? Maybe I wont?

It’s all good. So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

​It’s Just A Thought.

It’s just a thought, but there are times when we have to let those that we love, simply be themselves. We are not going to change them, and the ones that we love, are not going to change, unless they want to change. If they want to change, then we may help them with the process, but until them, the only thing left to do, is to pray for them. It’s just a thought. So it goes. Press on regardless.

​in the end

in the end
the truth of what we are looking for
or what it is that we think that we are looking for
never makes itself clear
until it is to late to do anything about it
or it has become so clear
that we never see it
what else is there left to say

​Tuesday May 15 2018

life doesn’t always give us what we want
nor do we always see what it is that we need
but we keep going out there 
doing the battle that we have been given to fight
grinding it all out
as only we know how
in a way that is totally ours
living a life
that everyone will be able to understand
or appreciate
but it is better to live a life without drama
then a life that has been consumed by it

Good Morning Everyone,

There are times when I feel that I can do just about anything, and maybe I can, with enough coffee and enough time, but there is just a minor thing that always seems to be getting in the way, and that is this little thing called sleep.

It is amazing how it will suddenly sneak up on you and demand your undivided attention. It is funny how it works out that way, otherwise, if I did not have to eat and sleep, my life would be perfect. I guess this happens to the best of us, even me. It is still good.

It’s all good. So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

It’s Just A Thought.

It’s just a thought, but there are time when the only thing that I can think of is my new favorite song, and all of the things that go along with that, and all of the things that simply might have been. Even then, the only thing that I am sure of right now is that it always seems to be changing, and soon I will find myself back to where it was that I started from, and the only thing that I have found is myself.

Searching for places and things that always seem to be just out of reach, but, at times, seem more real then what it is that I am able to put into words, and that the best that I can hope for will be that I will somehow find a way to make it last, but even that doesn’t seem to happen the easy that it needs to happen.

So I dream my dreams and write my thoughts, knowing that some day it will all come together, and that I will be the one having the last laugh, until then, this is just going to have to do. It’s just a thought. So it goes. Press on regardless.

some day soon

some day soon
I know that we will find something more
something bigger
something greater
something so unexpected
that we wonder why we did not find it sooner
even then
after all is said and done
we have to live in the moment
and the moment fades away
all to soon
​

can we believe the past
which is not ours to believe in
the thoughts of other 
in which we find ourselves wishing that we had said
words upon words
life upon life
hour upon hour
it is all the same
how else are we going to be able to believe
thought are always leading to some sort of action
and the truths that we find
are never where we thought that they would be

Good Morning Everyone,

Right now the only thing that I wish that would happen would be that there will come a time when I will be able to say that all is well and that I was finally able to leave the Circus behind me, and that I am finally going out to get on with the rest of my life.

In the meantime, this is simply going to have to do, for better or worse, and it can always be worse, I could not have a job at all, so the only thing left to do is to just go along with it all. It is still good.

It’s all good. So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

​It’s Just A Thought.

It’s just a thought, but there are times when I do find myself thinking that there must be more to life then just being alive, but being alive is always a good thing, because if you are not alive, then you are either in one or two other places, there is no third choice. It is purely an express, it is not a local. So it is all what you believe in now that really matters. It’s just a thought. So it goes. Press on regardless.

​the incredible sadness of being

there are times when I find myself thinking
about how pointless it all seems
and where it is that I am going
and what it is that I am doing
I this really as good as it gets
sometimes I wonder
but in the end
when I think about the alternative
it’s suddenly not that bad 

​Tuesday May 1 2018

what is it that will get us through our days
well what works for me
most of the time
is to try not and think about is to try not to think about it all to much
simply because you can get so bogged down in the thinking
that it does little more then just get in the way

Good Morning Everyone,

There are times when I sit down to write, as I sip my coffee, and let the music, whether it be something from the French Impressionists, or 1950's jazz, and the rest of it just happens. It takes me to a place, that unless it is something that you are families with, it is hard to explain, other then to say, when it is all going right, the real world. 

The world of work, and all of the things that go along with that, seem to be a million miles away, and that the only thing that really seems to matter is how much of all of this that I can get done. 

Well it is all good, and the only thing that I know right now is, that there are times, when all is going well with this, or seems to be going well, and the spell gets broken, it would seem that the world, at least at that moment, has ended, and there is nothing that is going to be able to get that back.

In the meantime, the only thing left to say is that I just hope at those times when I do have it, it lasts just a little longer each time. What else is there left to say, except that after all is said and done, this is one of the few things that I have in my life that I hve to look forward to and one of the few things in my life that I have been told that I was ever any good at, at all. 

Well this is about all for right now. As always, I pray that all of you are doing well and that I will be hearing from you soon. It’s all good.

It’s all good. So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

​it’s just a thought

It’s just a thought, but there are times when it happens, and there are times when it doesn’t happen. At the moment it seems that I have fallen some into one of the cracks.

That would be my luck though, there would be one crack, I would be th one to find it and fall right into it. So iot goes. Press on regardless.

the only thing left to say 
is that I really need to keep doing what it is that I am doing
because I need to keep on doing it
if for no other reason
then to make myself happy

Hello all you caffeine junkies,

With the right amount of coffee, just about anything can get accomplished.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Good Morning Everyone,

There are still things, even at this point in my life, that are still out of my control, one of them still being that I have to work for a living. It does not mean that I have to like it, but it is the way that it is.

It’s all good. So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

​It’s Just A Thought.

It’s just a thought, but I think that I just might not have all that much to say right now, because it has been a long day, and it is going to be a long week at work. I will still be here, doing what I am doing, simply because it gives me something to look forward to every night. What else is there? So it goes. Press on regardless.

​Sunday April 22 2018

sometimes,
even when all seems to be the best that it is going to be
there is always something
or someone
that comes along
and makes it all 
either better or worse
I am not sure where I am at today

Hello all you caffeine junkies,

Wether it is jazz, classical, or classical jazz, there were times, when it all sounded, just a little bit better, with a pot of coffee, a nice dessert, good friends, and good conversation. Sometimes it just doesn’t get any better then that.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Yours In The Spirit Of The Bean,

​One Thought, To Get All Of This Started.

It’s just a thought to get all of this started, that there will be days that are good, there will be days that are bad, and there will be days that just are. In the end, how we handle them, or do not handle them. Is simply a matter of where we are at, at any given moment.

Even with that, there are times when we need to live our own lives, within the realm of good taste, and good reason, regardless of what it is that some people want to think, or to believe that we should be doing, or not doing with our lives. That the truth, at least about oursleves, can be the most liberating thing that we can do, and it can almost be the most damning. So we must be careful of the which roads that we choose to travel, because there may not always be a way back. It’s just one thought. So it goes. Press on regardless.
