looking to go to the moon
the stars
beyond the sky
to be filled with love and wisdom
to find more than I can hold
so that I might be willing to give it all away
just to receive it again

Good Morning Everyone,

I do not know how good the old days actually were, but there are times when I find myself wishing to go back to the time when my life seemed to be a lot less complicated. Maybe it was complicated and I just didn't know any better. 

Either way, the only thing that I can do is live where I am at with what it is that I have. It is all good because God is still in control and nothing ever changes that.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

there was a time
not all that long ago
when being 56 years old
was something that I was not looking forward to
but now that I am 56 years old
it seems that I am just getting started
it is just taking me a little longer to do it that's all.

Good morning everyone,

Damp and rainy here in Red Bank. Still feeling a little arthritic. My right knee and ankle. It is a shame that we have to get old. That and my reckless youth is finally catching up to me I think. It's a shame that we have to get old. 

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

I hate being sick
I feel like such a baby
All that I want is to get into bed
and have someone take care 
but in my life
it doesn't work out that way

So it goes. Press on regardless.

hope
though often slim
is often
the only thing
left to hold onto

some days become so very hard
that it really doesn't matter 
I often wonder how much of it 
really does matter.
in the end
no matter what we believe
life does go on

Tuesday, January 22, 2019

 I fund myself thinking
do other people think the way that I do
feel the way that I feel
and do the things that I do
there are times when I wonder
is this the way that it is supposed to be
that I am left feeling as if I am the odd one out
knowing nothing new under the sun
I am really wishing that it would all be different
but I can only work with what I have been given
and pray for the rest.

Good Morning All of You Hipsters,
 
Jazz. The classics. Even the American standards are far better than what I being passed off as music on the American public, and the world as a whole.
 
Maybe it is me, but it seems that 95% of the stuff that is being passed off as music today, isn’t worth the effort that it took to produce. It seems to me that real musicianship, in most cases, is becoming a thing of the past, and those who take the time to learn their craft, are not taken all that seriously. Simply because the powers that be do not see it as being a very good money-making proposition.
 
It is a shame that it has to be that way, but in my opinion, it seems to be getting worse. It is all good though because, in the end, the cream will always rise to the top. It is still good.
 
So, it goes. Press on regardless.
 
Yours in The Spirit of The Music,
 
Lee

sometimes
as I look back on what was my life
up to this point in it
what would I do differently
to keep the people that meant the most to me
in my life
and knowing where some of these people are at
and what they are doing
I had thought of reaching out to these people
wanting to know what went wrong
and if I could make it right
but sometimes
in an effort to make it right
it only gets worse
so some dogs are best to let sleep

good morning everyone,

looking back on my life up to this point and thinking about people that I have had in my life. Knowing where they are at and want to reach out to them, if for no other reason then to try and figure out what happened. to right a wrong, or to simply say that you are sorry. at the same time, there are some things that are simply better left alone.

Good Morning Everyone, 

For better or worse, I find myself being very reflective at this time of the year. Maybe it is just me and that I should not liber so long in the past on what was and what could have been, The only thing that I can hope for right now will be that this will be the year that all of the dreamers in the world will finally have all of there dreams to start coming true. How it all seems so unreal but at the same time it is all the same, almost expected. What else can I do, what else can any of us do except to just keep on dreaming. It seems to me that the world needs more dreamers and doers and less of those who simply tell other people what it is that they should be doing and that they will be happy doing it, 

Good Sunday Morning,

Now that the holidays are over and we are in the middle of winter, at least in this part of the world, I pray that all is well and that soon we will be knowing the glory of the resurrection. That is the key to our faith in which we hang our lives on. It is all good because God is still in control and nothing ever changes that.

finding myself believing,
that I can find answers to questions,
that I know have no answers,
or that the answers that I do find
will only lead to a web of more questions
more answers
more thoughts of 
this just might be 
just about as good as it gets
which beats the idea that it could be getting worse

So it goes. Press on regardless.
​

Good Morning Everyone,


Do you ever get the feeling that you are doing little more than just going through the motions? Well, that is the way that I am feeling right at that moment, that I am doing little more than just going through the motions. That I am not doing the big things, the important things that I thought that I would have accomplished by this point in my life, but what else is there left to do except to keep on trying to keep on doing all of the things that I am doing just to keep from going mad. What I am trying to say is that we all need to do something, even if it means doing something that will make no sense if you were to step back and look at it logically, I have found though, that in life, the logical conclusion is not always the right answer.

another day 
another morning
another year
there are times
when I think
does this really matter
the days come
the days go
the days remain the same
but have we learned anything

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Good Morning Everyone,

So this is the first day of the new year. May this year best the best year for all of us. I hope so, as I live and breath.

there are times
in the middle of trying to make a living
we forget that we need to make a life

​Friday, December 28, 2018


if we are not careful
we will become what we hate
and love what we fear 
so be careful with your words
and with your heart

So it goes. Press on regardless.

some years 
it gets harder 
and harder
to get
and to keep
the Christmas 
spirit
and this 
just happens 
to be one of those 
times.

Good Sunday Morning,


Have a blessed Lord's Day and praying that we are all keeping Christ in Christmas.

So it goes. Press on regardless.


Faithfully Yours,

Lee

words are meaningless
it is the intent in which they 
are delivered
that makes them would
or can make them heal
if we let them

Good Morning Everyone,

Well, next week is finally Christmas and the whole thing will be over with. For whatever the reason, the job has taken the Spirit right out of me this year. I think that a big reason for that is that they have been playing Christmas music since the day after Thanksgiving. How many versions of a Christmas Song can you be forced to endure before it all starts getting to you? Well, it is almost over with.
