It's No Secret

 I've questioned the meaning of life and God's existence.  But I haven't done either for thirty years.  I would not have found God through people and I would certainly be eternally lost.  I've asked the "why me" question afterwards.  Because I am THAT important to God as every person is, regardless of belief.  Because we are each important to each other.

My wife is in Columbus today and for at least a few more days.  I asked my wife out of 49 years of marriage how many nights have we slept apart.  We both figure from various reasons like travel or hospital stays it's probably been less than six months in total. We've had a pretty simple philosophy about sleeping together and that is to not go to bed angry with each other.  So apart from reasons of inconvenience, we've never slept apart.  

There were nights and still are nights I don't go sleep right away.  I use my computer a lot at night.  And I'll fall asleep with my laptop on my chest.  But at night I often can't be relaxed enough to just drift off to sleep.  For years I've taken melatonin to help me sleep.  And I'll often wake in the Spiritual hours between three and five in the wee morning.  According to my cardiologist I am supposed to get eight hours of uninterrupted sleep every night.  

At first I followed all his rules religiously.  But as time has gone by I've relaxed a lot of the rules never once having experienced any chest pain from doing so.  For a few years I gave up all smoking then decided a cigar here and there wouldn't harm me.  And for years now it has been my pipes.  I went to the gym religiously for five years until it was inconvenient for me to do so.  But I've kept the weight off.  

I'm still active enough.  But my Spirituality hasn't changed one iota, except now it's not a secret any longer, nor is my reason for it.  Many now know.  But I'm happy many now know.  And it's brought me closer to family and friends.  The last 30 years would never have been without Divine Intervention.

Our son most likely will be released from the hospital today and my wife can assist him in ways that don't need my presence, plus the cost of my airfare.  He'll be coming here in a couple weeks and I'll see him then.  It's just that my wife and I haven't been apart all that often, so this is a rarity.  

Again though, my Spirituality gets me through the stresses and stains of emergencies.  I never worry too much except for certain things, and I can still get out of balance, but not like I would had there been no Intervention.  There is no way I would have made it this far in life.  There is just no way.  I relax with a pipe and let my Spirit Guides work.  Today it is my Savinelli Arcobaleno Blue pipe with some Sunrise tobacco and a cup of hot back Mexican coffee.  I thank you for your time and Peace to each one of you.
