​It’s Just A Thought.

It’s just a thought, but we all have times in our lives, when we are wondering, sometimes out loud, when will all of the bull shit end, and we can all just get on with the rest of our lives. Well that is where I am finding myself right now, wondering when all of the bullshit is going to end and I can finally get on with the life that I know that is waiting out there somewhere for me. That I will be able to do all of the things that I have ever dreamt about doing, going to all of the places that I have ever dreamt about seeing and writing all of the things that I have ever thought about writing. That all of this is just little more then preparation for all of the rest of it. Until then, I guess that this is simply going to have to do.

​reaching into the ether

when I write
I find myself just typing
hoping that what I am saying
or what I am trying to say
will come out the way that 
I had planned that it 
would come out
at other times
I find myself reaching into 
the ether
seeing what I will be able
to grab by the tale
and through across the page
so far
neither one seems to be 
working.

I find myself thinking at times
is this really as good as it is going to get
that I spend my days working for the man
and at night
between trying to get some sleep
I find myself wondering whether or not
I will be able to write my way out of all of this
and that there will be something other then what I have known
but one thing is certain
the world will still be turning
whether we want it to or not
​

​One more thing

sometimes we have to make the time
for one more thing
one more thought
one more idea
that 
with any luck
will make all of the difference

it’s just a thought

it’s just a thought, that this just might be all that I have to say. It’s just a thought. So it goes. Press on regardless.

Wednesday August 7 2018
I’ve heard it said 
that less
is more
I think 
that I will try
and prove that theory

Good Morning Everyone,

This will have to be brief, simply because it is going to be a quick turn around, and eight o’clock gets here awfully early. I just wish that I could be kept on a more consistent schedule. Well the only thing that I can do is just take what it is that I am given and pray for the rest.

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 just wish that I could just spend more time then I have been, working on whatever it is that I am trying to do here, because I know that I would not only be doing more, but I would be doing better at all of this. It’s just a thought. So it goes. Press on regardless.

​sometimes the point is....

sometimes the point is
there is no point, 
that there are certain people 
places 
and things
that just are
it does not mean that we have to like it
but it is what is is
and life goes on
whether we want it to or not

regardless of how bad things get
there is always someone that you will meet
that has it just that much worse then we do
like the old saying goes
I was sad when I had no shoes
until I met a man that had no feet
a rather over simplification
put it still makes the point

Good Morning Everyone,

There are times when I find myself wishing that I could have just one perfect day. That no matter what else happens, that I will finally be bale to do all of the things that I want to be able to do, without anyone bothering me. Well that is an awful lot to ask for, and I just think that this just might be a case of, be careful of what you wish for, because you just might get it.

I think that what it comes down to us that I just might have to manage my time better, which is something that I keep on saying that I am going to do, but never quite get around to actually accomplishing.

I am wondering why that is? Well at this point it just seems to me that it is little more then what it is. I know that is not an answer or an explanation, but it seems that it is just what it is and nothing more. I am even wondering what that is all about. Well it just might be one of those things that just might not have an answer. Well that is the answer, that there is no answer, so there is no such thing as a question that has no answer. 

It may not be the answer that we were looking for, or thought that it would be the answer that we would get, but it is an answer just the same. Well it is just what it is and nothing more.

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

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

​What else can you do?

What else can you do
when everything seems to be going wrong,
other then to just get back into the fight
and keep on swinging
even when there are those who
are telling you that it is all wrong
the only thing left to do is to just keep on swinging
because you just might hit something

​sometimes I wonder if it is worth the effort

Good Morning Everyone,

I normally do not try and make overt political statements, but I found this in my inbox, sent to me from a very fear friend of mine. This is no longer a Democratic or Republican thing or a liberal or conservative thing, it is something called doing the right thing. I think that the rest of this will explain itself.

This is too true to be funny.

The next time you hear a politician use the Word 'billion' in a casual manner, think about whether you want the 'politicians' spending YOUR tax money.

A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of Putting that figure into some perspective in one of its releases.

A.
A billion seconds ago it was 1959.

B.
A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.

C.
A billion hours ago our ancestors were
living in the Stone Age.

D.
A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.

E. A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate our government is spending it. 

While this thought is still fresh in our brain... 
let's take a look at New Orleans ... 
It's amazing what you can learn with some simple division. 

Louisiana Senator, 
Mary Landrieu (D) 
was asking Congress for 
250 BILLION DOLLARS 
To rebuild New Orleans . Interesting number... 
What does it mean? 

A. 
Well .. If you are one of the 484,674 residents of New Orleans 
(every man, woman and child) 
You each get $516,528 

B. 
Or... If you have one of the 188,251 homes in 
New Orleans , your home gets 
$1,329,787 

C. 
Or... If you are a family of four... 
Your family gets 
$2,066,012 

Washington , D.C. 
..HELLO! 
Are all the calculators broken??

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY? 

Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago... 
And our nation was the most prosperous in the world. 

We had absolutely no national debt... 
We had the largest middle class in the world... 
And Mom stayed home to raise the kids. 

What happened? Can you spell 'politicians'! And I still have to Press '1' For English. 

I hope this goes around the USA At least 100 times. 

What has happened to our country????? 

If you agree, feel free to forward. I think that we as a country need to start taking our country back, peacefully.

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

Faithfully Yours,

​it’s just a thought

it’s just a thought, but it just seems that there are times when there are people who have lost all sense of personal responsibility. Well maybe I am just becoming to cynical for my own good. Well maybe not cynical, but becoming to much of a realist and that is what is making me so hard and untrusting of most people. That may be a good thing, that may be a bad thing, but this just might end up being another story for another time. It’s all good. So it goes. Press on regardless.

whatever became of personal responsibility
sometimes I wonder
but in the end,
the only thing that I can do
is just try and do what I know to be the right thing

Good Morning Everyone,

For reasons that I will not get into here, this is just not in me tonight. The best that I can hope for will that tomorrow will be better. 

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

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

​It’s just a thought.

It’s just thought, but still think that it must be true, that you can pick your friends, but you cannot pick your family. It’s just a thought. So it goes. Press on regardless.

some days it just doesn’t pay
so the only thing left to do
is just have at it again tomorrow
another day at the grind
and this is certainly going to be 
a find powder
when it is all finished

Good Morning Everyone,
Sometimes, when I sit down to try and write, that it would just happen, and sometimes it does, but this is not one of those times, unfortunately. 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 we all hold onto things far longer then we need to or should. That we simple just need to let any shame, lose, bitterness, or anything else that we could care to name. Only to realize, that this jut might be the one thing that just might save us. So it goes. Press on regardless.

some people live there whole lives
without giving thought to what might have been
if they pursued there dreams
others live there whole lives
without having any dreams at all
how very sad is that
​

Good Morning Everyone,

A rainy night here in Red Bank. It looks like it is going to be an early night, and it is not because of the rain, but it just seems like it would be a good reason to make it any early night. It is still good. I hope that all of you are well and that I will be hearing from you soon.

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

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

​Good Sunday Morning,

It is all good here in Red Bank. It will get even better once all of this ends, but it will all be in God’s good time. Until then, I soldier on as best as I can with what it is that I am able to do with the skills that I have been given. I pray that you all passed a good week, and that you will be spending at least part of your day with some of God’s people. That is what make sit all good.

Praying that you have a blessed week. 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 truly believe that things in life happen for a reason, though the reasons may not always be obvious. Other then for the reason that we just except them for what they are. At other times, it may take a life tome to figure it all out. Sometimes, the reason can be so clear, that we sometimes will miss the whole point.
