we have to remember
for those who were there
where ever there is
and for whatever the 
reason being
so that the future will 
know as well
that we were here
to remember the past
to live in the present
to pass it all on to the future
So it goes. Press on regardless.

Good  Morning,

I keep telling myself that it is all good, and sometimes it is, but there are times in my life when the only thing that I can say for sure is that there will come a day when the only thing that I will have to do with my time is to try and decide how much writing it is that I want to do on any given day, and not have the idea that I am going to have to go out in to the real world and work for a company whose ownership barely know that you are alive. There are times when I think that the people running the company that I work for really understand what it is that they are doing or is it a case of just trying to make do with what it is that they have, and that doesn't seem to be working either. In the end, the only thing that I can do right now is, just show up every day and do what I need to be doing. What other choice do I have?

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

sometimes there are too many choices
sometimes there aren't enough
at times like these
sometimes it is hard to know what to do
and praying
though important
is the only option that is left
the rest of it is ion God's hands

good morning,

all that I know right now is that this coming week, starting tomorrow is going to be one of the longest weeks that I have had in a while. All that I can do is just deal with it and hope for the best but sometimes that isn't even good enough, So the best that I can do is just hope that this doesn't interfere too much with my writing routine. some things I need to keep up with no matter what. It is all good. 

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

sometimes there simply are not enough words to explain
all of the things that I would like to be doing with my life
but why I need to be doing all of them
it has never really made itself clear to me
but all that I need to be doing, is what I am doing
the rest of it are things that simply fill in the blanks.

good morning

there are so many things that I could be grousing about right now, but the one thing that I am grateful for is my family and friends, both near and far. there are times when I know that I can be complaining about things, that in the greater scheme of things really don't matter all that much, but when you are living through what can be some difficult times, it is hard not to complain. it just might be a case to find out what it is that you are good at and just stick with it. It is still good.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

it seems that the search never ends
for that right combination of words
that flash of brilliance that will  finally 
make a difference
and the world will be a better place
until that time
the search never ends

good morning,

was trying to make some adjustments to my contact list, and it took longer than I thought, due to some technical issues and my trying to rush through it all, which is not a good thing, which is why I am not done with it all. it is something that I really should have gotten done when I was on vacation, but it was not high on my list. I am just trying to make my online writing life just a little bit easier, but there are times when I think that once things start going well, there is something that comes along and changes the whole thing. I wonder why that is? not that it is something that I lose sleep over, but it is something to think about. It is all good.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

sometimes, 
it takes more courage than we thought that we ever thought that we had,
just to get out of bed in the morning,
to go off and do what we need to do
is just an act of faith,
and the world that we thought that we knew
has changed,
and is always changing, but not always for the better
so we face our days
often alone
in a climate that is often to cold
with people just like you are
cold,
alone,
and simply going through the motions of trying to survive
but that has to be more,
there needs to be more than just trying to survive,
we need to be kinder to each other
but the world has taught us differently
the schools have taught is that we can all be big winners
but what they have failed to teach us is,
that by definition,
in order for there to be a winner,
someone has to lose
and no one loves a loser
some things it seems,
have simply not changed.

good morning,

there are times, especially at this time of the year, as I find myself getting older, that I find myself feeling more than just a little bit nostalgic, and that I find myself looking to a time when my life was a lot less complicated, or so it would appear. that I have come to the conclusion that there will come a time when I will need to start just letting some things from my past go, and just live a far simpler emotional life. I am getting to be to old of a pony to be holding on to things that really do not mean that much to me anymore, and to start living more for today, because in the end, the only thing that we have is today. none of us are promised tomorrow, and yesterday is something that cannot be changed, even though we may want it to be so. what else is there left to do?
of course letting go, may not always be as easy as it sounds, and it can be painful, but any change involves a certain amount of change and fear, but in the end, it all becomes worthwhile, if we are willing to believe it. it is all a question of faith. 

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

good morning,

there are times when I wonder why it is that I bother doing all of the things that I am doing, at least as far as my writing is concerned. It seems that it is turning into somewhat of a crap shoot as far as whether or not all of this is actually getting read, and whether or not there will be someone who is going to be responding to it. even in this, the information age, it is hard to tell. sometimes I get the feeling that it is little more than just going out into the ether. We all have to do something.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

sometimes, 
when we think that we have no choice,
there is always a choice,
it is just a question of whether or not we 
are making the right one.
there is no way of knowing for sure.

good morning,

as with all good things, even vacations must come to and end. so now it is just grinding it all out again until the next round of vacations start again. that could very well be a long time, both literally and emotionally. so the only thing left to do is to just hold onto the idea that it is not going to last forever, nothing ever does. I hope that you are well and that I will be hearing from you soon. it's all good.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

even with the best of intentions
even the best laid plans
always come apart
upon contact with reality
well at least in my life
it always seems that way

good morning,

why is it, that when you plan on doing something, that it always takes longer than you had planned for, and you still did not get all of the things done that you thought that you would get done. Just a thought. Any Ideas.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

searching for answers to questions
that may not always have any answers
and those questions that have been answered
usually lead to more questions
and so it goes
which may not always be a bad thing
because it gives me something to think about
other than the weather

good morning,

It is all good, now that I am on vacation. somehow one week just never seems to be enough and it goes by much to quickly. if I get half of the things done that are on my list, I will be happy. but the most important thing right now I think is to simply try and get some rest, because I have not been feeling all that well the past few days and I think that I just need to slow down just a little, maybe take a half a day and just do nothing. we'll see. I hope that all is well and that I will be hearing from you soon. It's all good.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

working through life
with only imagination and the power of words
what else is there
when you search for love and find none
and the world just seems to be just a little colder
who will remember what it is that we need to do
if we ever knew at all
where is the wisdom that we were promised
laughter love and the meaning of life
who can know it or even believe
the rest of it is just out of reach

Good morning,

well first Saturday night, this is not the way that I would've had it planned, 25 or 30 years ago, but 25 or 30 years ago, I was 25 or 30 years younger and I think I had a different set of priorities. That I've gotten a little older and hopefully a little wiser, things are still good and getting better all the time. Right now I have the six game between the Houston Astros in the New York Yankees in the American League championship series to see who will be playing in the World Series against the Washington nationals. It's always a good thing, and I think it would be a bit of poetic justice if the Yankees when the pennant unused is home field because last year or was it the year before, that Houston beat the Yankees at Yankee Stadium for the American League pennant. The Yankees do have to win tonight in order to force a game seven, which will be tomorrow night if needed. Either way, though, after all is said and done, in the whole scheme of things does it really matter who wins and who loses? I'll think that it really doesn't matter, but it just gives us something to talk about other than the weather. It's just a thought. In the meantime I pray that all of you are well and that I will be hearing from you soon. Blessings.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

saying nothing can be a good thing
speaking can be a good thing
but there are times
when not knowing what to do
is the most difficult thing of all

Good morning

sometimes, the only thing left to do is to take what life gives you and pray for the rest. It doesn't mean that you have to like it, but that is the way that things are, and there is nothing that can be done except to take it.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

thinking of another time
another place
memories that should have been mine to make
but it was not meant to be
but the here and now
and all of the other things that go along with all of this
whatever this happens to be
in the end,
it really doesn't matter

good morning,

right now, one of the few things that I am sure of is that the days are coming and going much faster than I would like, as if there were a way to control the passage of time. not that time goes faster or slower it is just that our perception of it all changes. knowing that, I still find it amazing how time seems to pass without us even knowing how quickly it all seems to go. all that I am sure of right now is that it all goes by much to quickly, and there is still so much more that I still want to do. it's all good. 

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

time passes so quickly,
that we sometimes don't even notice it, 
because we are so busy doing other things,
and the best that we are going to be able to do
is wonder where it all went
and what we can do to make up for it all,
knowing full well
that there is no way to get it back
because like everything else in life,
once it's gone it's gone
and there is no getting it back 
who would have thought.
