​Good Sunday Morning,

My sister cam e home form the hospital on Wednesday, thanks be to God. She sends along her thanks for all of your prayers and good wishes. I ask that you pray for me because I am on vacation this week and that it will be both restful and productive. I know that sounds like a contradiction, but it is where I am at right at the moment. It is all good.

Praying that you have a blessed week. So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

Good Morning Everyone,

Well if nothing else, I at least don’t have to be watching the clock for the next week, so with any luck I will be able to get some writing done during this time that I have off. OH! Did I mention that I am on vacation this week. At the moment I am feeling a lot less stressed and I am looking forward to just being able to do nothing if I am so inclined, but will just have to wait and see what will happen.

So all that I am praying for right now will be that I will be able to get all of the things done that I have on my to do list. It does not mean that it will get done, but it is on my list. Sometimes, life is good.

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

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

​it’s just a thought

there are times, when the only thing oleft worth saying is, that sometimes, life is good.

in the end though
the only thing that any of us can really do
is to just except the gifts that we have been given
and do the best that we can to develop them
the rest of it is just something to think about

hello 
sometimes
i 
wonder
if 
their is 
snyone home

​Good Sunday Morning,

Good Sunday morning all. I pray that you all passed a blessings filled week. I do have a prater request for all of you prayer warriors, and that you pray for my sister Linda. She got scratched while attempting trim the nails of her cat, and the cut quickly became infected, and now is in the hospital because of it. Who would have thought that such a thing could actually happen. I never would have thought of such a thing. Thank in advance for your prayers on her behalf.

Praying that you have a blessed week. So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

Good Morning Everyone,

Just a few lines right now just to keep all of this going. I ask all of you that do not already know, to pray for my sister. She picked up a nasty infection and is in the hospital. She is alright, but it is still a concern all around. Thanks.      

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

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

​It’s just a thought

it’s just a thought, but is it possible to change so much. From the person that you were, or that you thought that you were, into someone else, that your own mother would not even recognize you. It’s just a thought. So it goes. Press on regardless.

Saturday June 9 2018

it is all good,
but there are times when I think that I must be getting soft
I say that
because there are some songs that I have heard one hundred times
but the one hundred and first time
I find myself getting just a little misty
which is not unusual for me
but at other times
I fear that I may have changed so much
that my own mother would not recognize me
​

​It’s Just A Thought.

It’s just a thought, but the world would be a whole lot better place, if all that we really needed was love. It’s just a thought, but I really to believe that it foes not work that way. So it goes. Press on regardless.

whether you are running hot
or whether you are running cold
as long as there is movement 
then it is all good

​It’s Just A Thought.

It’s just a thought, but the world would be a whole lot better place, if all that we really needed was love. It’s just a thought, but I really to believe that it foes not work that way. So it goes. Press on regardless.

Good Morning Everyone,

The the way that things are looking at work right now, it looks as if my next day off will be the following week and God only knows what they that's going to be so right now it looks as if it's going to be at least nine days in a row between days off. I've done longer stretches between days off but the way that is looking right now and nine is going to be the minimum.

I know that I should be thankful that I have a job, but it's hard to be thankful when you're working at a job where you are understaffed overworked underpaid and not appreciated. And the only thing that were being told by the powers that be is to work harder. Another one of their favorite expressions is work smarter not harder in my response to that is how are we supposed to work smarter when working harder isn't good enough.

I understand that there are people waiting for an opening, and the company that I work for I fear as developed a reputation for not treating its employees very well and having them, because of the shortage of manpower working anywhere from 9 to 21 days in a row. And they're wondering why morale is less than stellar.

And of course they could not have picked a worse time to do a remodel in my Department, and doing it overnight would make too much sense but they're not simply because they do not want to pay the overnight premiums to have all the work done overnight when there's no one in store. So the money they're saving by not paying the premium they're losing in sales so there being penny wise but pound foolish.

So this is where I am at right now at least is forthright life out in the real world is going. I suppose it could be worse, it could always be worse.

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

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

​It’s Just A Thought. 

It’s just a thought, but why is it that when you are doing what it is that you love, time seems to go by much to quickly, but when you are doing what it is that you have to do, our time seems to crawl to the point of death. That the world that we wish that we were living in, appears to be nothing more then a pipe dream, and the world that we are living in, seems much to real, and that it will never end. Either way, it is just a question of perspective, and in the end, time still passes, and there is nothing more that we can do. It’s just a thought. So it goes. Press on regardless.

​living, loving and crying

living
loving 
crying
laughing 
dying
the 
world 
still turns
and life
meets love
and death 
always wins
what we do until then
is what makes us different
from the people around us

there are times
when the only thing that I can do
is to just keep on typing
thinking
believing 
hoping
praying
that their will be something better
at the end of the sentence 

It is still true, that this whole writing thing is not just what I do, but it has become a way of life. Sometimes the path gets just a little to long, but it is still good.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

It is still true. I write because I have to. Whether or not I am any good at it, well that is all subject to opinion, simply because good and bad can be relative terms. Either way, it is what it is and nothing more.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

​Good morning all of you jazz dogs,

Even for me, there are times when even I need to step away from the music, even if it only for a couple of hours. Sometimes even I need to catch up on what is going on out there in the real word.  Yes it is true, there are times when I step, out into the real world. It is still good.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Yours In The Spirit Of The Music,

Lee

Hello all you caffeine junkies,

Coffee jazz friends and good conversation. When it happens there's nothing better.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Yours In The Spirit Of The Bean,

Good Morning Everyone.
Just being brief, for two reasons. One there is not all that much that I have to say right at the moment, and two, I need to try and make this an early night. Try being the operative word. 

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 there are times when I think that I should just turn my laptop off and try to get some sleep, because sleep is always a good thing. It’s just a thought. So it goes. Press on regardless.

looking for the largest amount of words
in the smallest amount of time
good luck 
and good fortune
always seem to be just out of reach

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.
