It's Quite Simple, Really

-

 I had a conversation the other day about regrets.  The older one gets, the more regrets a person has.  There are two regrets that hospice workers have revealed about those at the end of life.  It is said that the most common regrets are that they wish they loved more and traveled more.  Love is a motivating factor for many things in life.  Many hospice workers say the dying wished they had more friends.  Many facing death don't like the prospect of facing death alone.  

First of all, I try hard to live in the now.  Secondly, at my old age I CAN have regrets, but I'd rather say I have none and often believe I don't.  But perhaps most importantly, I don't find the prospect of dying something I worry about.  I'm thinking I won't face death, but that requires me to explain too many things I'd rather not explain.  It is part of my Spirituality to have no regrets and I live in the now.  I am very much alive.

My brain is getting old at times, but I'm far from issues of aging, except at times my body can feel my age.  But I just don't worry aboit getting old and piling on regrets.  If I said much more, I'd have to explain mote than I wish.  Let me just say I don't worry about it.  I believe in Divine Intervention.  But so did my parents, grandparents, and most deceased from my life.  And today many believe as I do.  It's a part of my Spirituality to believe.  

I coukd say I believe I've lived my life perfectly.  But only a crazy person believes this about themselves or life is their own Disneyland.  It's a fantasy.  Maybe in a way, Spirituality is a kind of fantasy land.  But only another Spiritual person can understand.  But the fact is I'm not sure I have many fears, but I can be neurotic about people, but not God.  It's when I let my Spirit Guides work I worry the least.  

Spiritual people always accept what is and what has been, believing they shape the future.  But they don't worry about death and dying.  They know how to live and how to embrace life.  Explaining much more than this gets too complicated.  A truly Spiritual person has no fears.  I would say usually I don't.  But I'm still human and I would say the more I meditate with my pipe the less I am concerned about most anything, especially the end of life.  Today it is my Boswell pipe with some Captain Black Original and a cup of hot light roast Nicaraguan black coffee.  Thank you for your time and Peace to each one of you.

It's About Balance

 I seem to struggle week after week as to how much football I am going to watch.  There for awhile I was watching all the analysis of the collegiate games and decided I was simply paying too much attention to football.  I cut way back last week and as the season begins to unfold I have to ask myself how much is too much?  I didn't watch one pro game last weekend and hadn't followed the analysis of collegiate games all week.   Then I found myself having a kind of withdrawal and decided I can watch whatever football I want to watch as long as it doesn't interfere with my Spirituality.  But at what point is too much too much?  My wife and I talked about this last week as I cut back on watching and we both decided that I like football and I shouldn't have to be thinking about how much or how little I watch.  I enjoy the games.  College more than the pro's.   I don't have to watch the analysis, but I like College Game Day and I like...

Strange

 I can never predict how any of my posts are going to be received but I do get a reaction from my wife quite often, but I'll post about my Spirituality thinking I've said enough and apart from a few other subjects my Spirituality posts do quite well.  I had yesterday's tobacco review done a few days ago and saved it for yesterday and again, it seems my tobacco reviews do quite well.  Then I wrote about my age and it seemed no one cared that much   My wife says that it's my titles for my subjects So, while I have so many subjects to choose from, today it is about how my tobacco choices influence my Spirituality or do they?  Not really.  It's just that I can't smoke my pipes without tobacco.  I could be smoking a lot of things.  Like the question asked when someone thinks you are crazy, " What have I been smoking?"  Well, at least you know.  It's never any "funny" stuff.  You could be asking what I've been drinking.  I have ...

Old Ads

-
 My wife liked my post about old things we remember.  And a lot of what I remembered was good.  But there was some bad things back then that are different today.  Back in the 50's and 60's and even into the 70's advertising in both magazines and TV were incredibly sexist.  I don't have the space in one post to list all the ads, but really they can be summed by saying that a lot of advertising was incredibly sexist. I 've mentioned my wife lit my pipe for me just a few times, but these days she can barely tolerate the aroma of my most flavorful Aromatic tobacco.  She liked everything I said in that post except my mentioning Old Professor pipe tobacco.  Ironically, I like Old Professor the most and she hates it the most.  So, when I mentioned it, she did too.  But back in the day a man smoking a pipe was his lifestyle.  Today, it's a hobby, and not just for men. But too back in the day, no woman could walk down the street without some perv...
