Good Morning Everyone,

There are still things, even at this point in my life, that are still out of my control, one of them still being that I have to work for a living. It does not mean that I have to like it, but it is the way that it is.

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 I just might not have all that much to say right now, because it has been a long day, and it is going to be a long week at work. I will still be here, doing what I am doing, simply because it gives me something to look forward to every night. What else is there? So it goes. Press on regardless.

sometimes,
even when all seems to be the best that it is going to be
there is always something
or someone
that comes along
and makes it all 
either better or worse
I am not sure where I am at today

Hello all you caffeine junkies,

Wether it is jazz, classical, or classical jazz, there were times, when it all sounded, just a little bit better, with a pot of coffee, a nice dessert, good friends, and good conversation. Sometimes it just doesn’t get any better then that.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Yours In The Spirit Of The Bean,

​One Thought, To Get All Of This Started.

It’s just a thought to get all of this started, that there will be days that are good, there will be days that are bad, and there will be days that just are. In the end, how we handle them, or do not handle them. Is simply a matter of where we are at, at any given moment.

Even with that, there are times when we need to live our own lives, within the realm of good taste, and good reason, regardless of what it is that some people want to think, or to believe that we should be doing, or not doing with our lives. That the truth, at least about oursleves, can be the most liberating thing that we can do, and it can almost be the most damning. So we must be careful of the which roads that we choose to travel, because there may not always be a way back. It’s just one thought. So it goes. Press on regardless.

Good Morning Everyone,

Well the first day back at anything, may or may not be the best of anything, but the only thing that I can say is getting there was the worst. It’s over now, so the only thing left to do is to just count the days until my next vacation week. It’s all 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 it just seems that the older that I get, the more that I take pleasure in the little things. And that the older that I get, the smaller the pleasures become. Well it is just a thought. So it goes. Press on regardless.

when one thing ends
there should always be something that should take its place
or you think that would be the case, 
but there are times when I feel that it really doesn’t matter
whether there is or there isn’t
sometimes I think that this is just about as good as it gets

​Trying to believe that the best is yet to come

trying to believe that the best is yet to come
and that all of this is little more then just a test
to let mow know whether or not I will be worthy of it
when the best finally gets here
in the end
the only thing that I seem to be doing
is waiting for something that may not happen
that may not arrive
or has already passed me by
and it was something that I simply missed totally 

​I am never really sure what to write 

I am never really sure as what I should be writing about
or whether or nit
if I do know what it is that I am trying to say
that it will all come out right
or that it will be something totally different in what it was that 
I thought that I was going to say
knowing
that the future that I seek
is always just out of reach
and that the world as I am seeing it
is not always what it was that I am thinking that it should be
or that it was
or that the whole idea of personal responsibility
integrity 
wishful thinking of just doing what needs to be done
I find myself going far and wide 
away from the whole thing that we thought that we were going to accomplish
in the end
does it really matter what happens
as long as we end up in a better place then the place that we are 
calling home

​Some things never change

knowing that there will be times in our lives
when we need to make some sort of a change
whether it be for the good or for the bad
there are going to be some things that never change
that people are still people
and that they are going to believe what it is that they want to believe
that they are going to be doing what it is that they want to do
regardless of how you may try to get them to see things your way
not that what you are saying
doing
or believing 
is necessarily the best way either
but when you feel that you are out in the world
all alone
knowing that it is solely up to you to get it all right
the best way that you know how
but there is still another way of knowing
believing
seeing
understanding
what other way is there left to understand
other then for the truth be given away
in the best way that you can know the truth 
it never gets any better
it never gets any worse
it is all the same
because there are some things that just never change

Sunday Morning Greetings,

Good Sunday morning. I pray that you all had a blessed Easter Sunday last week, and that you are all planning to spend the Lord’s Day, or at least part of the Lord’s day in His house, worshiping with His people. 

All is good in this my part of the world, because God is still in control. It’s all good.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

Good Morning Everyone,

Thank God!! I am now officially on vacation, and do not have to think about the Circus for a whole week. Though before I left work, I did do some shopping, in the hope that I will have enough supplies to where I do not have to venture out unnecessarily, or to at least do any shopping. So the only thing that I do know is, thank God for convenience stores.

The one thing that I am going to try and do si to just enjoy my time off as much as possible, because a week can go very quickly. Also, if I get accomplished half of the things that I want to get done, then it will be time well spent. In the end, it is all good.

I hope that all of you are well and that I will be hearing from all of you soon. 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 wish that I could give all of this writing nonsense, and just except what the fates have to offer me, but just the idea of it is enough to make me sad, almost to the point of tears. Simply because this is one of the few things that I have in my life that I have been told that I am any good at, at all. 

So for better or worse, here I am, with coffee in my cup, and jazz on my radio, it doesn’t get much better then this, especially since there is no drama to be found.

​sometimes at night 

sometimes at night
when I cannot sleep
and that little bitch
known as the muse
is not cooperating 
and my bed is empty
I sip my coffee
I smoke another cigarette
and listen to the most glorious silence
that any man has ever heard
it’s enough to make me weep
but I do not
do you

sometimes
we take to long to act
and when we decide to act
it just might be to late
and the moment is years gone
as well as the passion that we thought that we had
and the only thing left to do
is to simply go through the motions
which can sometimes be enough

Good Morning Everyone,

There will come a time, I pray that it will be soon, that I will be able to look back on this part of my life and know that it was a test, only some sort of a test, and that I have made it through with some sort of a passing grade. Until then, all of this is simply going to have to do.

In actuality though, there are still some things, if not most things that are out of our hands, and that the only thing that any of us can do is to just go along with it all, and hope that when we have to, that we make the right decision at the right time. That we say the right thing at the right time, and do the right thing at the right time. What else is there?

In the meantime, the only thing that I am going to be able to do is to just keep on living my life as best as I know how to live my life, given that this is the only one that I have and that there is going to be no one who is going to be able to live it for me, or to be able to do all of the things that I need to be doing, the way that they need to be done. At least the way that they need to be done on my world.

There are times though, when the only thing that I know for sure is that there will come a time in my life when the only thing that I am going to be able to do is what I must do, and that talking about it all is no longer an option. It is going to be a case of put up or shut up. It’s all good, or at least that is what I am letting myself believe.

In the meantime, I pray that all of you are well and that I will be hearing from you soon. It’s all good and getting better all of the time.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

​It’s Just A Thought.

It’s just a thought, but there are times when the only thing that I can do is to write, even when I do not feel like writing, simply because, I know that if I do not, then tomorrow, if I choose to write, will never come, and the only thing that I can do is to force myself to get down a few words, in the hope that they will lead to something big, something important. 

Until then, this is going to have to do. It’s just a thought. So it goes. Press on regardless.

​Sunday, April 1, 2018 Easter Sunday

the only thing that I can do right now is to just keep on writing,
writing as fast as I can,
but the only thing that I know is that,
sometimes writing as fast as I can
is simply not fast enough
and that there is always going to be something that gets lost

​Good Morning Everyone,

The one thing that I am sure of right now is that I am not sure of anything anymore, and that there will come a time in my life when I will be sure of even less, if indeed it is possible to be sure of even less then nothing.

The whole concept of there being nothing is not entirely plausible to me, simply because if we are thinking of the possibility of there be nothing, then there has to be something or someone thinking about the concept that there is nothing to begin with, therefore the whole possibility of there be nothing, is not very good idea, simply because, how does something come from nothing, because there had to be, at some point everything had to be created. There just was a poof, and everything came into existence on it’s own.

Now where is all of this going to, I haven’t got the foggiest idea. There comes a time when the only thing that I can do is just go with it when it all happens, simply because I do not know when something like this is going to happen again, and maybe it is a good thing that something like this does not happen to me all of the time, simply because it is what it is and nothing more.

To my way of thinking though, it takes more faith to believe in the ‘Big Bang’ and the whole theory of Darwinism, then it would take to be a creationist. Maybe it is because with Easter being this coming Sunday, and of all this spiritual, maybe it is better to believe in God and the resurrection, then to believe that all of this, whatever all of this is, simply happened by some sort of a cosmic accident.

For some of you, this just might be a case of preaching to the choir, to others, this may be just some more rambling’s of some cook sitting in some darkened room somewhere, hoping that there will be someone who will listen him. Either way, the only thing that I can do is to just keep on doing all that I can in the hope that some day soon, the rough places shall be made plain, and the only thing left to do is to just enjoy it all.  

Who will believe it all? Are we capable of doing anything that is good in comparison to what we believe who God is and who He has revealed himself to be. Well the only thing that I know is that I believe, and that I have never had the gift to fully explain what it is that I believe and how and why I believe it and came to that faith. In the end, it is all good.

Sorry, didn’t mean to preach, but I think that what this old world needs right now is a good dose of religion. It’s just a thought.

So as I step down out of my pulpit, I pray that all of you are doing well and that I will be hearing from you soon.

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 find myself being better at all of the things that I am doing. Knowing that there is always room for improvement. Where does all of this improvement come from? God only knows, but that does not absolve any of us from looking for it, and putting it all into place. It’s just a thought. So it goes. Press on regardless.  

​in this day

in this day
there always seems that there is nothing more that can be done
said 
believed
understood
the all of the things that we need to be saying
believing
understanding
at this moment, 
simply because
at this moment
may be the only one that we have left

Wednesday March 28 2018

there are times when I find myself writing as fast as I can
trying to get down as much as I can in the shortest amount of time
knowing that this just might be the last chance that I may get to do this
knowing that time
as it always does,
moves away from us all at the same rate
one second at a time

​When nothing else seems to be working

when nothing else seems to be working
the best thing that I can do
is to return to the things that I know that will work
but even then
they all seem to ne just as warn out as I am

​it’s just a thought

It’s just a thought, but there are times, looking back on my life and some of the dumb things that I did, well maybe they weren’t dumb, they were outright stupid, but it was what I did, and it was what a lot of my friends did, at one time or another, and we lived to talk about it.

Now, if kids go out at all, it with a tablet, a cell phone, a bottled water, and a helmet. If they are lucky enough to actually engage in conversation, it is filled with nothing but political correctness. No one need have there feelings hurt.

Everyone makes the time. Everyone gets an award. Everyone participates. Something happened along the way, and I thinking that I missed the point, other then that is not the world that I grew up in. A lot of these keeps, once they get out into the world, will find out that life is not always that easy.

Your not told about the dead end jobs. The job that you wanted, ended up going to someone else. The person that you thought was going to be the one, ended up dating someone else.

Thye don’t tell you, that once the real word sets in, there are certain things that need to change, and one of the things being, that the world is not always what you thought that it was going to be, and change, if it comes at all, is very slow, and very painful, and not always easy to come by. There just might be, that the change that you sought, might not end up being what you thought that it was going to be. It’s just a thought. So it goes. Press on regardless.
