it’s just a thought

It’s just a thought, a thought that I seem to be having more and more of lately but it seems that one of these days, I do not kn ow how, but one of these days I will find myself in Europe. London. Paris. Rome. Doing the things that writers do in those cities, knowing that it will all be true and that I will be no longer dreaming. In the meantime though, the only thing that I can do is just think about it all. It’s all good.

​london, paris, rome 

there have been time
when the only thing that I have been able to do 
is to think of london
paris
rome
and what it would take to get there 
to be there
doing all of the things that I have wanted to do
and thing of Hemingway
Fitzgerald
Miller
Eliot
and all of the other writers
great and small
who frequent my dreams
and make me want to be like them
but what else can I do be dream
london 
paris
rome
and just what might be

a new time 
a new place,
the end of another month
and the world seems to turning as the way that it always has
but in the end
what else can we do
except deal with what we have
with the time that we have been given
and the world still turns
and the rain still falls
and people live and die every day
with no other thought but for the moment
and the last of it,
always seems to be what it will be doing
and how all of it needs to be done
what else is there left to say
do
believe
or even try and understand
that all of this chaos
we are expected to find order
but in the end
the only thing left to do
is to believe in a future that we know will never get here
and that we find ourselves putting off our dreams for another year
until we find ourselves to old to enjoy them
or to even try and make the come true
but it is all still there
waiting for another chance to live
to breath
just to try and laugh one more time
and to make the best of whatever it is that we have left
when nothing else really seems to matter
but when our dreams finally do come true
to make them last one more day
one more hour
before returning to our own world
the rest of it is just what it is 
and nothing more

​Good Morning Everyone,

The one thing that I know right now is that the more that I think about all of the things that are going on in Washington right now is that it is all just politics as usual. Who’s lying and who isn’t. I think that I would be more surprised if there was a politician that actually told the truth. Cynical? Maybe. Maybe I am just being a realist. 

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

​It’s Just A Thought.

It’s just a thought, but why is it that the people in Washington continue to printer play money, with no thought to the idea that one of these days, all of this debt is going to have to be repaid, and then we are going to be in trouble. It’s just a thought.

​Tuesday November 28 2017

thoughts
words 
ideas
it all runs the same to me
knowing that it is always the same
that there is something that we always need to be doing
thin king about all of the things that are really important
at least for the moment,
but there will always be something that we will be missing
what else is there
when we see the world around us
and are willing to take it for what it really is
and knowing that there is always something that we need to be doing.

​A HAPPY AND BLESSED THANKSGIVING!

​Good Morning All Of You Hipsters,

​Good Morning Everyone,

Just a few lines this morning to keep it all going in and with the knowledge that one of these days I'm sure that I will have set some sort of a record for having sent the largest number of personally written emails, but at the rate that I'm going right now I think that I'm slowly approaching Hillary Clinton numbers as for is the total number of emails sent which may or may not be a good thing I guess it all depends on how you're looking at it but I don't want this turning into a political discussion.

But speaking of Washington in all that mess I'm just wondering how much more the American public is going to be willing to take before all of this finally explodes and we get back to just run the government and stop wasting money. Well the way things are looking right now I don't see that happening anytime soon and we just find ourselves getting bogged down further and further into political infighting and mountains and mountains of debt.

At the rate things are going there is going to come a time when the piper is going to need to be paid and that the only thing that these bozos in Washington or doing at the moment is just thinking that can further and further down the road.

Sorry didn't mean to turn this into a political discussion but sometimes I just get so frustrated that there's nothing that I can do but to start venting and I guess that's what I needed to do with the moment is just do a little venting but in the end what else is there. There comes a point though when the only thing that I can say is that there are people out there in Washington who talk a good game but when it comes right down to it it's just business as usual regardless of which side of the all you're on. It's all good.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

​It's in the end the only reason why I write is because sometimes I find speaking to be just a little too difficult, so I try to write it out instead, it gives me an opportunity to find out what's really on my mind.

​it’s just a thought

It’s just a thought, but there are times when I find myself thinking, almost believing that this just might be all that there is, but I have to remind myself that in all of this, there is something bigger, something better, something that goes beyond the very day need of just survival, and that the rest of it really does matter.

That how we live today, will effect the way that we are tomorrow,
and where we will spend the rest of our days, even eternity. The rest of it is out of our hands. 

So we take what it is that we are given, and we pray for the rest. It’s just a thought.

​life death and the meaning of it all


life
death
and the meaning of it all
that there are those who will say
that life has no meaning
well if life has no meaning
then that is the meaning of life
but the meaning of life
has to go beyond having no meaning
because if life has no meaning
then we might as well give up on all of it now
because 
without the hope of nothing better
that there is someone
or something beyond ourselves
that is bigger then what we can imagine
then that at least gives life some sort of purpose
meaning
hope
eternity 
past the jaws of death
and the will to live this life for one more day

​Monday November 20 2017

what will be left of us when we run out of things to believe in
that our dreams have all run dry
and the world seems to far away
and the old ways still turn out to be the best ways
there will always be someone who will say,
let’s try it this way
and the whole thing
whatever it is
will start all over again
and there will still be those who will be left scratching there heads
wondering when it will all end

​Good Morning All Of You Caffeine Junkies,

Coffee. Dessert. Family. Friends. With Thanksgiving coming up what else does one really need, but there are those out there who don't have that and that's the sad part.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Yours In The Spirit Of The Bean,

​Good Morning Everyone,

With Thanksgiving coming up on Thursday, I am going to keep this as brief as I can because the next few days are going to be bust at work, so I do not want to be accused of dragging through lack of sleep or that I am dogging it, though there are those who would say that I am for whatever the reason, but the only thing that I can say right now is that it is all just what it is and nothing more. 

I pray that all of 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

​Good Morning Everyone,

With Thanksgiving less then a week away now, the only thing that I am going to be able to do right now is to just take a deep breath and just remind myself that by this time next week the madness that Thanksgiving seems to have become will finally be over with. It’s all good.

In the meantime, I pray that you are well and that I will be hearing from all of you soon.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

​It’s Just a Thought.

It’s just a thought, but there are times when the only thing that I am going to be able to do right now is just keep trying to be myself, simply because who else is there I would rather be. The rest of it really doesn’t seem to matter. It’s just a thought.

​why I do what I do?

Why I do what I do
is like asking me why it is that I breathe
simply because it is what and who I am
never believing all of the things that come my way
but in the end
I have always found it a bit difficult to be myself
but who else is it that I am going to be
because the only thing that I know right now is
that in a world full of other people
trying to be someone that they are not
it all just seems to be such a great waste of time
and that the truth of it all is
in cases like that
that once you realize that you are on the wrong path
that it is to hard to get back
but it is always something that be done
where else is there left to go
to be
to understand
other then to be where we are right now

here I am trying to write,
again,
and I am still trying to find out where it is that I am going to be going with all of this
in the hope
that I will be able to find all of the words that I need to make it all plain
in the end though
all that I know that I need to be doing
I will be doing
and that the best that I can hope for will be the writer that I know that I can be

Good Morning Everyone,

Som here we are at Veteran’s Day again, and the days and the years just seem to be slipping away as they always do, in the hope that in all of this, I am able to try and make the days that I am living in the hope that in the end, there will be something that I will leave behind and that after all is said and done, we all look, not only to the future, but to the past. Not to live in the past, but to look at the past in the hope that we will learn where we have been, in the hope that we will be able to figure out where it is that we are going.

I believe that those who forget history will be doomed to repeat it. Even with that in mind, the only thing that I can do right now is just to keep putting out what it is that I need to be putting out in the hope that what I am doing and will continue to be doing will have some effect somewhere and to be able to do all of the things that I need to be doing, whatever all of that means.

I keep doing all of this writing business in the hope that with in all of these emails, this vast pile of words, that I will be able to find my own place within the world and where all of this will take me. Now maybe I am a bit of a dreamer, or that I am just out right fooling myself, but the world needs more dreamers and fools that are willing to put themselves out there for the sake of there art and what it is that they are willing to believe in, to say, to understand, to know. That with all of the things that are going in in the world right now, there just seems to be some many other things that are important then what it is that I am trying to do.

Well the only thing that I know right now is that I can let myself get overwhelmed by it all and not do anything, or I can try and do something with my limited ability with words to do all of the things that I need to do, whatever that means, and the only thing that I know is that there will come a time, when everything will be made plain, and that the only thing left to do right now is just toot my own horn in the hope that it will all be heard in the vast orchestration of time. 

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

​It’s just a thought.

It is just a thought but there are times when the only thing left for me to do is to just keep on doing all of the things that I am doing because what else is there. What else is there, well I can just give up and take all of the things that life is throwing at me and not do anything to ty and make it work for me. The only thing that I can do is to just try and make it all real, and even if I fail to achieve all of the things that I am dreaming about, never giving up on your dreams must be something that drives us to do bigger and better things, but never forgetting who we are asa person and where it is that we came from and all of the people that has helped us along the way.

We have to and must be willing to find that balance, otherwise, success, in whatever form that it takes, is shallow and meaningless. In the meantime it is all good.

So it goes. Press on regardless. 

​Rushing through it all.

There are times when I find myself rushing through it all
just to get something done,
in the hope that it will not be looked upon as being tio foolish,
but the one thing that I know right now is,’
that even with that in mind,
the only thing that I believe in is
the idea that there are those amongst us who do nothing at all
but sit around and just think about doing things,
but get nothing accomplished.
They are so busy doing other things
that the rest of it just seems so out of place
and that there will be nothing left but ever lasting regret.

​Friday November 10 2017

the only thing left to do right now is to remember the past
with an eye to the future
with hope in our hearts
and with enough wisdom to keep from being foolish.
In the end,
the only thing left to do is to just take what we are given and pray for the rest.
