Good Morning Everyone,

Sitting here in my room, listening to a mixture of jazz, both old and new, and the classics, both old and new, and wishing for another place, another time, another chance at greatness. Knowing that it will all come true, if I work hard enough, pray hard enough, believe hard enough. It is one of the few things that I have in my life that is totally mine. I totally unique view of what it is that I want to do and what it is that I want to be. To be able to live mu life, if not totally on my own terms, then to at least live a life that others will either admire me for, or simply walk away from me, and let me be.

Yet there is a real world out there, with real problems, with real people, with really dreams of there own. Wanting nothing more then just to live there lives as best as there abilities will let them. It is not all that complicated really. Life was never meant to be this way. If life is complicated, it is because we have made it complicated. My life is complicated enough, or so it would seem, and I do not need to be adding to the pile, but there are times when I simply do not have much of a choice in the matter.

If I am going to live a life and not totally isolate myself, there will come a time when the only thing that I can do is just keep everything to a minimum, and just live and left live when the situation warrants it. The question is being able to know the difference. Sometimes it may take a lifetime to figure all of this out, and then, it simply may be to late, or is there such a thing as being to late. Well only time will tell.

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 the cynical part of me is just saying, that in Washington, this is little more then just politics as usual, but the stakes are higher, simply because one party lost when they thought that they were going to win. Now is there any truth to all of this, well in some cases, the truth is only what it is that you are willing to believe. At other times, it is all just beyond me, and that the truth of the matter is, we are all stuck in a situation that no one is liking, and in the end, the only people that are getting hurt are the people of this country that are going out every day, simply trying to hold on. That the only ones that are benefitting from all of this are the fat cats in Washington, regardless of which side of the aisle that they are on, or who is sitting in the chair. This may be a democracy, this may be a republic, but the people are the ones that are getting screwed, but this country still belongs to us, the people, provided that we have the courage to stand up and fight for each other. In the end though, I fear that the only thing that I can do, that all of us can do, is simply to start praying for our country and for its leaders, it may be the last chance that we have.

Sorry didn’t mean to preach, but this just might be the only way that I am going to get heard. It’s all good. So it goes. Press on regardless.

​consistently inconsistent 

leaving everything behind,
but forgetting nothing
wishing start over
but finding myself returning
again
and again
to something that I know
that I simply should be letting go
but letting go
always seems to bring with it
some new peril
that we should have seen coming
but never thought that would arrive
in the end
it is just what it is
and nothing more

days come
days go
things change
things remain the same
truth
mercy
understanding
isolation
redemption
left 
and right
up
and down
we live our lives
as best as we can
there will be those who do not
or will not 
understand
and that just might be a good thing

Good Morning Everyone,

I have found myself thinking to much about things that I may or may not be able to control, and I am just feeling so very sad about the whole thing, but what else can I do, I still find myself being little more then just a dreamer of dreams that I know may or may not come true, bit I think that this is what this old world needs more of. Dreamers, writers, poets, artists and people of that ilk. Yet it seems to me that there are those who would think the opposite. Well that is there right, but the only thing left to do right now is to just let it all be, and do what it is that I need to be doing, and that is simply to try and get out of this routine that I am in and into something a little more productive, and a little more conducive to my own personality. Well anyone who knows me may say that just might be a tall order to fill, but at this point, the only thing that I am looking for is to simply lead a quiet life. In the end, what else is their left to do?

Well we can all lead the lives that we may want to live, but in the end, I do not deny anyone anything, as long as they come about the whole thing honestly. What else can anyone ask for? Well in my life, as with most of the people that I know, it just seems that it all comes down to the money. The love of money may be the root of all evil, but it would sure help the cause otherwise. So I do not know what it is that I need to be doing, for better or worse.

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

Faithfully Yours,

​It’s Just A Thought.

It’s just a thought, but why is it, that if some of the best things in life are free, why is it that they cost more then we had ever anticipated. It’s just a thought. So it goes. Press on regardless.

in the end
does it really matter what we do
or what we try to do
I think that it does
not that the planets will be altered from their course
but it just seems to me, 
that the best thing that any of us can do
is to just keep on doing all of the things that move us
even if it means that after all is said and done
the only thing that we are going for our selves,
is ourselves
the rest of it really doesn’t matter

​Good Morning Everyone,

It is so hot where I am aright now, that I do not feel lime doing much of anything except just trying to lay down. Now if I get some sleep, well that I another matter. I have a fan, but at this point it seems to be doing little more then just blowing around hot air, but at least it is moving. So I do the best that I can and hope for cooler weather. It is what it is, and it gives me something to write about.

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 start waxing nostalgic more then I really should, but the alternative is to forget where I cam from and what it took to get me this far. So I guess that this means that I am doing what I will always be doing. It’s just a thought. So it goes. Press on regardless.

​The nights

the nights when I have felt that I had gone quite mad
the other nights
when sleep would not come
and the rest of the world seemed on the dark side if the moon
and the ret of the nights
when I found myself thinking that death had found me
but it had passed me bad
and I was allowed to live for another day

time and baseball

time is a lot like baseball
sometimes it seems as if it is never going to end
other times
it seems that it is all ending much to soon
and we have to wait until next spring
for another chance at greatness

some days I find myself thinking about what was
and what could have been
the great things
and the small
it all adds up to something
but the world knows better
and will not let us forget it

Good Morning Everyone,

There are times when it seems that we can make the same journey every day, and every day that journey seems to take longer and show fewer and fewer opportunities. I am still wondering why it has to be this way, and if there is anything that can be said for trying o break away from it all.

An argument can be made for consistency. So the whole thing can go around for hours and still not get anything settled. It is something to think about.

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

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

​Good Sunday Morning,

Well like all other good things, at least in this life, vacations do come to an end, and it is back to the Circus, and all oif the absurdity that I find that place to be. So keep me I your prayers over the next few days, as I try and get back into the swing of it all. 

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

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

Good Morning Everyone,

Lik eall good things in this life, vacations come to an end, and itis back to the grind of what it is that I do every day. So the only thing left to do, at least right now, is to keep this brief and get ready to go through until my next vacation week, which is in 12 weeks, bit that I am counting. 

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 whenever I have been on vacation, I feel worse then when I did before I went I on vacation. What kind of contradiction is this? It’s just a thought. It’s just a thought. So it goes. Press on regardless.

there are always things that we need to get away from
and there are always things that we need to be running toward
which one is good for us
and which one is bad for us
only experience will be able to tell the difference
what else is their left to say?

Good Morning Everyone,

Well whatever the problem was with Facebook, it has been fixed, and all of the things that I have posted, are finally back where they belong. I was half expecting to have gotten a message from Facebook saying that I was going to have to re-post everything to my blog. I shutter just at the thought. That just might have take all of my vacation to do all of that. Well it is all good.

Well one more day until the start of my vacation, and I know that it is going to be one of the longest days of my life. So I do what I must do and hope for the best.

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

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

​It’s Just A Thought.

It’s just a thought, butv there are times when the only thing that I can do is just take what life has to give me and try and learn something from it, even if it is something that I should have learned years ago. It’s still good. So it goes. Press on regardless

sometimes
things happen that test our patients
and in the end
we only frustrated ourselves
it is all good

Good Morning Everyone,

Still in the middle of something that I am not liking at this point, but as always, we always have things and times in our lives that we have to deal with, but when you are in the middle of it all, you think that it is never going to end, and that you are the only one who understands all of this.

Well the difficult times makes the good times that much better, it is just a question of getting from one to another. It will get better I know.

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

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

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

Good Morning Everyone,

Well it is one day down, and at least eight more days to go until my next day off, and it will be twelve days until my vacation week. Not that I am counting bit I thought that I would just put that out their to see if their will be anyone who will salute it. 

In the meantime, all that I can do right now is to just take one day at a time like everyone else, and to try not to take it all so seriously, though it does get hard sometimes, but that, I think, will be another story for another time. 

The one thing that I know for sure is that if the weather stays like this during my vacation week, I do not think that I will be doing all that much outside, but I will have to worry about that when it gets here. Until then, it is still 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 I truly believe that there are only two opinions that really matter. Those that we think about ourselves, and those that God thinks about us, the rest we have to take from where it is that they are coming from. It’s just a thought. So it goes. Press on regardless.

allow yourself to be great
even if it is in only a small way
