Fluff?

 Other than my post yesterday, which my wife called "interesting and different," I write mostly fluff.  There was a time when I had all this anger in me.  But no longer.   I just prefer to keep things light.   I've had this post ready since this past Monday, and I'm just now getting round to posting it.

This is not about editorializing, but more of a personal commentary on observations.  I do this while smoking my pipe.  I have written a lot of stuff over the years, but it has not been published.  I have this blog, which keeps my mind busy as I read articles and news clippings and comment on things as I observe them.  

This is not hard-hitting news or editorializing, but I do this while smoking my pipe, which helps me to meditate and think.  Obviously, I have an interest in Angeology, but I've decided that is too personal for me and pretty much relates to myself and not really much to any of you, except for my wife.  But I do a lot of reading on my phone and follow the news from all sources as much as I can, but these day's I'm finding the news quite distressing, so I look for the rare fun tidbit I might stumble across.

But the one thing thing that I've learned, if there is a Valentine's Day theme to all this, is that life is a journey and begins with the love one has for oneself.  And I'm sharing my life with a pipe here, because I'm always thinking about what I say to family here.  And that word "family" has a broad definition and is not intended to be used in a religious context.  You are a diverse group of people.  But while I venture into the Spiritual, I avoid any and all politics.  I simply won't go there.  

My very nature is that of a Spiritual person, who just happens to enjoy smoking a pipe.  My world is a very small world these days and I am never sure what I'll say here.  I usually am writing in the mornings and follow the news during the day.  But by evening I want to shut out all the distractions and simply relax before going to bed.

I feel it is important to keep up with what goes on in the world.  This is something that I feel personally I must do.  But I like writing about fluff.  I don't try to editorialize but simply share what I've read.  I leave the most unusual for others to write about, but the fact is that I don't go into great detail, but simply share what I've read.  

Some things are more interesting than other things, but I'll see something and say to myself that I can have fun with this or that.  And if I didn't enjoy doing this, I wouldn't do it.  Just like my smoking a pipe.  So, this morning, I'm giving myself some love, which is where it all begins.  If we don't have love for ourselves, we certainly can't have love for others.  I love my time spent with my pipes.  

The fact is that I'm retired these days and I have a lot of time to myself.  I love being by myself as I believe a person's best friend is oneself.  The best loves begins with the self.  It took a Divine miracle to teach me this and is a lesson I have not forgotten.  I share my thoughts with my pipe.  And share a few of them here.  As to how long I'll do this blog remains to be seen.  But it's never work as you are a diverse group.  I can always find something to say.  But I'll admit it's mostly fluff.  But it's simply fun to do.  

I'm smoking my Angel pipe this morning and started out the morning with some Spiced Rum.  My pipes really are my best friends, next to my wife.  But we have no better friend than ourselves.  It all starts right there.  And then that love manifests outward.  Thank you for your time and Peace to each one of you.
