why is it,
that you need 
one day out of the year
to tell someone
that you love them
if you love someone 
you should be telling them 
every day 

good morning,

the one thing that I know right now is that after all is said and done I am just going to have to take what life gives me and pray for the rest. I am getting pretty good at this praying business, but as with everything else, there is always room for improvement. I pray that you are well and that I will be hearing from you soon. it is always good.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

revisiting the past
is often a good thing
it might even be healthy
if we are honest about it
but living in the past
especially a past that
is not ours to linger in
for to long
may not be healthy either
the idea I suppose
is to be able to strike the 
balance 

good morning,

I am feeling very much like the insomniac right now, not that I know what an insomniac is supposed to feel like, but there are times when the only thing that I am going to be able to do right now is to just deal with it and hope that even in this, that I will be able to learn something from even this. I do not know what I might be learning from all of this, but in the end, anything just might be used for a learning experience.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

life can only be as good as it gets
within the moment
if we are willing to look for it
the days and nights
filled with hope
filled with dread
filled with anything
that will keep us from thinking too much
laughter and tears are always hand in hand
which, at the moment
never seems to make any sense 
until the moment is gone
and we find ourselves doing something else

good morning,

some days are good and some days are not so good, at the moment I am somewhere in the cracks. there have been times in my life when I have felt that I have always been falling into the cracks, that I have never really been able to get it right, not that I am always getting it wrong but things have never turned out the way that I would have liked, so the only thing left to do right now is to just make the best of the situation that I find myself in at the moment, which is all that any of us can do. just another case of taking what it is that we have been given and praying for the rest. sometimes that is the only thing that any of us can do. there are times though when I feel that I am just getting lazy, or that I have just bitten off more than I am able to chew, just thinking about all of the things that I want to do and all of the place that I want to go, but at the same time it just seems that we all have to dream something and do something to try and make all of our dreams come true, even though we may know that they may never come true, but we all have to do something, even though it may seem unimportant or a total waste of time, but in the end, there is always the fact that doing nothing is worse than following one's heart, in the end, it is all good and is getting better all of the time, I hope that you are well and that I will be hearing from you soon,

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

with all that is going on 
with the politics
in this country
it is easier to hate
then to pray for those
who persecute you
it is easier to hate
then to love your neighbor
as yourself,
we have forgotten what it means
to fear God,
in the end,
we reap what we sow 

good morning,

overall, things are good, but as with everything else in life, there is always room for improvement, but change for change's sake is not always a good thing, so it is just a question of choosing wisely, and wisdom sometimes takes a lifetime to come by. so think twice before making any changes.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

there are times 
when waiting 
for what we 
want the most
once we get
there
we often wonder
whether or not
it was all worth 
the wait
I would like to
be able to find
out 

good morning,

still trying to be patient in all of the things that I am hoping to be able to do with the rest of my life. there is still that minor detail known as money that I need to be dealing with. too bad that I need to be working every day just to keep body and soul together but at the moment I do not have much of a choice in the matter, but it is all good. I pray that you are well and that I will be hearing from you soon.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

there are times when 
I find myself loving 
to hate technology
because I just wasted
25 minutes 
waiting for my laptop
to update files
not that it is a bad thing,
but with all of this 
technology,
you would think that 
they would program
some sort of warning
that this was going to 
take place
and not just watch it 
all happen with no 
advanced notice.

good morning,

well, the holidays are over but for the cleanup, and what I pray for is that this will be the best year ever, regardless of all of the madness that is going on in the world, because God is still in control, regardless of what some people may be thinking. it is still good.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

technology
I love it
I hate it
I love to hate it
there are times 
when I wonder 
why I bother

good morning

was late getting out of work, but what can I do? there are a lot of things that I can do, but it is just a question of choosing the right one. I hope that you are well and that I will be hearing from you soon.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

the beginning of
the end
or somewhere 
in between
the best that can be hoped for
os that we meet ourselves 
coming back

sometimes, the best thing to do is to just sit back and drink the coffee.

there are times
just getting out of bed 
in the morning
or whenever it is 
that we are getting
out of bed
takes more courage
than we thought
that we ever had
to face a life 
that is not entirely 
of our own making
but we do what we
can 
when we can
and pray for the rest
still
there are times
when I count it a blessing
that I have made it this far
and for that I am grateful

good morning

so far it is all good or at least as good as it is going to get right at the moment. as with everything else in life, there always be room for improvement. It seems to me that the person that says that there is no room for improvement is either doesn't know what they are talking about or is a fool. I will go with the former because there are times when we all are misinformed. It is still good.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

for better or for worse
sometimes the best thing that we can do
is to be around people
it is the best thing that we can do
and it is the worse thing that we can do
it is just a question of doing it

Good Morning,

Sometimes, even when you are not feeling that way, sometimes you just have to believe that it is all good. Maybe someday I will actually believe that it is. Until then it is still good.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

good morning,

just a few lines to keep the streak going. not much happening right at the moment, which just might be a good thing, maybe a little too good. of course, there are times when it is just a little too quiet. In the meantime, it is all good.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

when it comes to love
it seems that wishful thinking
is just about the best that 
I am going to be able to do
I simply have not found anyone yet
have not found anyone yet
that would have me

good morning    

right now I am just having to deal with a slow internet connection. I at least hope that is what the problem is and not my laptop. I do not need to be investing in another one because there is no money for that. at the moment I am dealing with my hating technology feeling, and wondering why I bother. All that I can hope for is that this is just a mild set back and nothing permanent. in the meantime, the only thing that I can hope for will be that this will just be a quiet evening. in the meantime, it is all good.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

rarely at a lose for words
there are times when I feel 
that what I am thinking
what I am feeling
sometimes goes beyond words
and that can be a good thing
because saying nothing
is sometimes the hardest thing to do

Friday, October 25 2019        

my days tick by so slowly
at times it seems so hard to keep track of them all
because of there sameness
and the way that the world moves
like the hands of a clock
in a quiet room
with only myself to hear it
as it slowly marches by
remembering in school
that we were taught that we could all be winners
but by definition
in order for there to be a winner
someone has to loose
and no one remembers the losers
other than for those that lost
