The mask of time
Simple pleasures
A life well lived
The world knows
Something called
The truth
And something
Else that we are
All looking for

Good morning,
Well here I am again, still trying to do all the things that I'm trying to do with all this time that I have on this vacation week of mine. All I can say right now is that the more that things change the more that they stay the same, and that one day this week I'm going to have to try and get out and do something. Even if it means paying a visit to one of the local coffee shops flirting with the baristas. Of course, that's always easier said than done, at least as for is getting out. I mean. One of the things that I wanted to get accomplished this week was to try and be a little more robust with my writing this week, and so far, it seems I'm doing okay with it, but it's early yet. A lot can happen between now and Saturday are actually Sunday when I go back to work.
I am using some dictation software, which is definitely helping my cause, as some of you already know, and it's great when it does what it's designed to do, but there are times when I think that it has a mind of its own and is putting in what it wants to put in and not necessarily what you're saying. But it's one of those programs that the more you use it the more you get comfortable using it and the more accurate it becomes, and more accustomed it gets to your voice and your speech patterns. So is getting more and more accurate the more that I use it. So the circumstances that I find myself in at the moment, this will probably be the most. I will use this in any given time since I've had it, so hopefully, the accuracy will improve to the point, well I will have to do less and less, proofreading. So, with that in mind, I just keep on talking and watch through the miracle of modern technology my words appearing on the screen of my laptop.
I do hope that in the end, this will help with my writing, in that it will give me a more distinct voice, pardon the pun. So it's just a question of being able to do all of this full time, which is something else altogether. I do so look forward to the day when I will be able to do this full-time and I will be enjoying every minute of it. But the one minor detail that I need to take into consideration and there is the issue of money. That stuff we work so hard to obtain, yet so quickly slip through our fingers. I know that it does with me. So I do the best that I can do with the time and the tools that I have in order to get myself heard. Even now there are still so much that I have left to say but time now, is also a friend and enemy. It's a friend in that I have it, but enemy, and that it will run out much too quickly, not that I'm planning on going anywhere anytime soon but there are things that are simply out of our control.
So I know they will come a time, I don't know how, but I'm convinced that one day soon I will be able to devote myself full time to call my real work, and now what I do, simply for money. Understanding that we all need to work, because we don't work, you don't eat. The old Protestant work ethic. Of course, there are those who through no fault of their own are unable to work or hold what is given to mean gainful employment. And those people. Those individuals should be helped along. The problem that I have is with people who through long term drug or alcohol abuse, and suddenly attempt to get into the system and be supported by the government. Now the best of my knowledge no one held a gun to these people's heads and told him to abuse drugs or alcohol. So where do you draw the line? Maybe I'm being too hard or critical, but there are people that I know who are perfectly able to work, but somehow have managed to get into the system, and our branding whatever they can get both hands, and the government is gladly giving it.
Then you have those who have legitimate disabilities who have to wait sometimes years to get what they're entitled to because it's a legitimate disability. Whether of being too critical to cynical are simply being a realist, that's the way I'm seeing it right. At the moment and to you to figure out for yourself.
Sorry didn't mean to preach or to go down that road, but there are just times when you just have to spout and this was the point in time. Right chose to start spouting. It's all good

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

there are times
when I find myself 
wishing that there
would be something
good that will come
out of all of this
babbling that I am
doing
that the world will
stand up and take
notice of all of the
things that I have
to say
and that it will all
be good 
in the meantime
this is going to 
have to do

good morning,

just a few words to keep the streak going. all that I am hoping for right now will be that I can get through the next three days without any drama. of course with the way that my life is, that is asking an awful lot. there always seems to be unwanted drama. as a matter of fact, I can live without the dram and just be content with leading a very quiet life.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

in the end
it would be fair to say
that it is not how we start
but how we finish.

good morning everyone,

sometimes, the best joys in my life come through the little things or the things that are unexpected. sometimes life can be good. 

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

the way that we look at life
is often determined
by what it is that we have been 
through
up to any given point in time
wishing that things would turn out
just the way that I had them planned
but they seldom ever do

good morning everyone,

the days keep going by much more quickly than I would like, but at the moment there is nothing that I can do about it all other than try and keep track of what is going on in my little corner of the world, but there are times when I wonder whether or not it is all worth the effort that I am putting into trying to keep track of it all. well, there are worse things that I could be doing so I might as well keep up with what it is that I am doing.
of course, keeping up with all of this and whether or not it is being read is something altogether different. I do hope that is the case.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

is love all that important
that when it becomes all that
you feel that is missing from your life
that when you finally find it
will it have been worth the wait?

So it goes. Press on regardless.

good morning

I pray that you all had a wonderful memorial day and that you took the time to remember what it is all about. it's all good.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

There are times when it seems
That there are forces that
Seem to be conspiring
Against me.
At other times
The only thing that I can just go with it,
Because this too shall pass
Otherwise
The only thing left to do
Is just go with it

Click here to editGood morning everyone,

Right now, I am running a little later than I would have liked due to some circumstances that were beyond my control. Just like the weather. Right now, I find myself believing that I need to start managing my time better. Of course, saying that I need to be managing my time better and actually being able to do it are two different things.
In the meantime, the best that I can do is just to keep pecking at it and trust God for the rest. In the meantime, it is still good.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

sometimes life hands you lemons
sometimes life hands you shit

so those times when life hands you lemons
make your lemon-aid

on those times when life hands you shit
use it to fertilize the lemon tree

So it goes. Press on regardless.


Faithfully Yours,

Lee

trying so hard
simply so that 
there is nothing left to do
nothing left to say
at least for today
tomorrow will have enough
words of its own

​More and more I find myself not wanting to do anything else but sleep and that is not a good thing, that is not a good thing at all. All that I can do right now is to just try and work through all of this because I know that at the end that I will be the better person for it. I hope that you are well.

​
When shall the last be first?
And the first last
And the lion laying down
With the lamb
Sometimes
There are questions
That have no answers
At least not in this life
Soon
All questions will be answered
But once that happens
Will it really matter
That we now have all of the answers.

thinking of a time in my life
when thinking about this time in my life
was something that just did not happen
or if it did happen
I don't remember it
simply because it is something that would 
not have happened

but now I am at this point in my life
and wonder how far off of the mark that I am
because I am not doing
nor have I done
all of the things that I thought that I would have done
what else could I have done?

So it goes. Press on regardless.

good Sunday morning everyone.

The only thing left to say is that God is still in control. Sometimes I do not always understand it all, and maybe I am not supposed to, but all that I am sure of is that God is still in control and nothing ever changes that.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Good Morning Everyone,
​
Sometimes just getting away from it for a few days is just what the doctor ordered, but in this case, it is a little more than just that, but no matter what happens, like it or not, we all have to come back to our lives, like it or not.
On the end, our lives are all we have, for better or worse.
So, it goes Press On regardless.
 
Faithfully Yours,

you know you're getting old
when the highlight of your day
is getting into bed.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

good morning everyone,

Right now it is a case of the spirit being willing, but the flesh being weak. It is just what I need, I just might end up getting a decent nights sleep.

So it goes. Press on regardless.
