    the search never ends

the never ending search for the right combination of words
never really seems to end
that time and place when everything just seems to come together
and the best that can happen is
that I just keep on writing
knowing that everything is going to line up
just right

​Hello Everyone,

Well today was not one of the better days that I had at work, and it was far from being the worst, but the only thing that I can say right can say right now is that I am just going to have to let all of that go and get down to the business at hand, but there are just times when even that is not helping, and that the only thing that I am going to have to do at the moment is to just try and do a few things, and just make it an early night and pray that tomorrow will be a better day.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

There are times, 
like now,
when I am just feeling so very up against it,
and that no matter how hard that I try, 
the only thing that I am going to be able to do is to try and put this day behind me.
It was far from the worst day that I have ever had,
but it certainly the best that I have ever had either,
but it was just enough to throw me out of wack,
and that is not the place that I want to be in right now,
but what else can I do,
I have to work for the Circus, 
and the Circus is not going to own me.
That the only thing that I can do right now,
is to just keep on doing what it is that I am doing to try and keep a well balanced life.

​Good Morning Everyone,


Right now i am at a point in my life where the only thing that I want to do is scream, but the only thing that I can do right now is to just try and keep my cool, and hope that one of these days it will all work out, whatever it is. Just one more week and I will be on vacation,  I hope. The way that things have been going, it is all subject to change without notice.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

​Good Sunday Morning Everyone,


I pray that you all had a pleasant week and that you will all be spending at least part of the day with God's people. As for myself, well i find the whole thing in Washington to be, at least in part, politics as usual, and that nothing is really going to get done, regardless of who is sitting in the Oval Office. Right now, the only thing that we need to do is pray for our leaders now more then ever.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

​who decides

who decides who is worthy of life 
and who is worthy of death
purely based upon what you choose to believe
or not to believe

in the end,
the only thing that I can do is trust God,
and leave the rest to Him.

​it is all good

no matter what else happens,
no matter who is sitting in the Oval Office,
the truth of the matter is,
the system still works,
whether we like it or not

now this is just a thought,
but in the long term,
telling the truth is the best thing that we can do.

​Good morning everyone,


these are just some very trying times that we are living in right at the moment, but what else can i do, it just seems that this is where we are living right at the moment, but the only thing that i can say right now is that this is just the way that it is and the way that the United States system works, for better or worse, bu the only thing left to do right now is to just try and turn it all off for a couple of hours, and just sit back and take a breath.

in the meantime, it all just goes on and on with no end in site.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

    history repeating itself

right now I find myself believing that history really does repeat itself,
for better or worse.
I know that with all of the things that are going on in Washington right now,
that it all just seems that we as a people have learned very little from history,
and regardless of who is in the Oval Office,
it is just something that is going to go on and on forever.

Nothing ever really changes,
other then for the fact that it is just what it is and we just may be seeing all of this again.

Am I being cynical, 
I think that on this point that I am

​good morning everyone,


well all that i know right now is that with all of the things that are going on in Washington right now, and depending upon your news source, things are going from bad to worse, or worse to terrible, and it just doesn't seem to be getting any better, and i simply do not know who or what to believe. no wonder i am so discouraged with the system as it stands right now. what to do? 

well there is not all that much that i cam do except to just wait and see what will happen, that is all that i can do.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

​    I really should not be surprised.

I really should not be surprised,
with the way that things are going in Washington right now,
in the end,
they are still cut throats and thieves,
it is just a question of whether or not they get caught.

Then when they do get caught,
it just seems to me that there is an awful lot of finger pointing going on.

What ever happened to telling the truth?

​Good Morning Everyone,

The only thing that I a sure of right now is that one of these days I will be able to leave the Circus life behind me and be able to chase my literary dreams. In the meantime, stuff like this is just going tp have to do. I pray that you are all well and that I will be hearing from you soon.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

​when all else fails,

I find when all else fails,
the only thing that is left for me to do,
is to just keep on writing,
it is the only thing that I have left.

​one of these days my dreams will come true

one of these days my dreams will come true,
that I will be able to give up my day job,
and devote myself to my real work

until then,
this is something that will have to do
the rest is background noise.

W. H. Auden

​Good Morning Everyone,

I do find it amazing to what lengths some people are willing to go to, even if it means, and pardon the term. Even if it means prostituting themselves. Some of you already know that I have been messaging through facebook with someone who is claiming to be in Istanbul for some sort of conference, and now is having trouble getting back because the airline needs money from this person. My point is, needs money for what? It begs the question, why didn’t you buy a round trip ticket?

Will keep all of you informed as to how this turns out. I find this amazing though, to the extent that some people will go to to try and scam people. It is almost funny. I will play this out as long as I can just to see where all of this will go.

No worries though, I have no money to send, even if I wanted to.  
So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

​The ear tends to be lazy, craves the familiar and is shocked by the unexpected; the eye, on the other hand, tends to be impatient, craves the novel and is bored by repetition.

    do I have stupid tattooed on my forehead

there are times in my life when I feel that I have stupid tattooed on my forehead.
That I am in the middle of a joke,
or that I am the joke,
or that I am missing it completely. 

That nay be the case, 
but there are times when I just feel that I am being talked down too,
or am I just thinking to much,
and that I should just forget the whole thing. 

​Good Morning Everyone,

Right now I am finding it really difficult these days trying to get motivated to do al of the things that I need to be doing as far as work is concerned, I mean my real job, I mean the one that u get paid to do, not what I am doing right now, which I hope some day to be getting paid to do.

Every day it just seems to be getting harder and harder to fet motivated to do what needs to be done as far as that is concerned, but I do it and hope for the best. I pray that all of you arr well and that I will be hearing from you all soon.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

​when work becomes more work then it is worth

when work becomes more work then it is worth,
it seems to me that we have to be very careful not to do anything to rash,
because we may find ourselves wishing that we had what we just gave away.

​Good Morning Everyone,

It looks like that it is going to be another short email, because things are not getting any better at work as for as what hours that I am working, but the only thing that I can say right now is that the only thing that I am going to be able to do is to just keep on doing what I can do in order to keep all of this going for whatever it is worth.

The Blog must go on!!!

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

​Even when it all seems hopeless.

Even when it all seems hopeless, 
and that I would be better off just giving all of this up,
I need to keep on doing all of the things that I am doing,
simply because,
doing something else would simply be out of the question.
