we get one thing done at a time
what gets done
gets done,
and at the end of the day
if we are still breathing
then it is another victory
for the little guy

good morning everyone,

sometimes we go through life getting knocked down again and again. not knowing whether or not we will be able to get back up again. get back up again we must, because in the end, if we don't. the world will kic us in the ribs as it steps over us. 

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

feeling at the moment
that whatever dreams 
that I may be dreaming
for whatever time that I
may have
that God in His wisdom
give to me
that I will measure my steps
and be grateful for the moment
So it goes. Press on regardless.

good morning everyone,

london. paris. rome. a dream that seems so far away that it seems that it will never come true. a place in my life that, as I raise the tattered flag of my dreams knowing something good will come from all of this waiting. dreaming. believing in the face of what life often gives, which often not what we expected.

knowing full well, that life does not always give us what we want or what we think that we need, but we have to make do with what we have been given and pray for the rest. thanks be to God that it is all still good because God is still in control.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

looking forward to the time
when I will have more time
then I know what to do with
but even with that idea
the idea of having more time
then we know what to do with
seems to be so absurd
simply because there is always
something that needs to get done

Good Morning Everyone,
 
So here I am again your little emailing in a posting to the Internet and Facebook friend. Just hoping that I can get myself heard over all clanking clatter of cyberspace. I guess there’s something to be said for getting in here and doing this every day. I believe that the word that I’m looking for is persistence. So, I guess would be safe for me to say that if I am not persistent then I am nothing.
Being persistent can be a good thing but making a nuisance of oneself might not be such a good thing so it’s just going where that line is drawn in knowing when and when not to step over that line. So here I am doing whatever it is I’m trying to do and say whatever it is I’m trying to say but most of the time it seems is doing is all by the seat of my pants.
I think they can be said for most of us at least at one point or another that we go through life by the seat of our pants and wonder why it didn’t turn out the way that we had all planned.
Sometimes though I find myself wondering whether or not all of this is worth the effort to put into it. There are worse things that could be doing with my time in my money so I guess this is better than sitting in a gin mill trying to drown my sorrows. Though I am sure that there are those who do that or something similar every day that’s not for me. Though I do admit that there was a time in my life when I did enjoy more than just a couple of beers. But when two becomes for becomes a more consistent basis then willing to admit to admit to being there just might be the start of the major problem. So, the only thing left to do right at the moment is to just thank God that I’m not drinking my life away. In the end, it is all good because, as always, God is still in control.
 
So, it goes Press On regardless.
 
Faithfully Yours,

in all of this,
whatever this happens to be,
there are times when my emotions
go far beyond whatever ability that I may have
to be able to put them into words
until they go off
where ever it is that emotions go off to
when they are not currently in use\

So it goes. Press on regardless.

good morning everyone,

sometimes, all of the things that I think are important only become more important when we try to replace them with something that we know to be a lie. the only thing left to do is to keep on holding on to what we know to be true. the rest of it is out of our hands.

​So it goes. Press on regardless.

were the good old days always as good as we remember
or were told that they were
whether it is true or not
I find myself wishing to lead a simple
more productive life
in the end
it all seems that some things are
what they are
in the end
we can always start over

So it goes. Press on regardless.

good morning everyone,


more often than not I find myself looking for a less cluttered simply life. one of these days I hope that I will be able to find it. but until that time, this is going to have to do.

So it goes. Press on regardless.


Faithfully Yours,

Lee

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.
