A Change of Scebery

-

 It might be a little early to write about, but in a week my wife and I are going to spend time in upstate NY for about six weeks.  I've been at least somewhat streessed about it and that might be putting it mildly.  But there are things about NY I really do like.  We've been planning it for some time and she knows I'm stressed about going.  But it's the planning and traveling.  I hate flying these days.  And I guess I'd rather smoke my pipe here on the patio.  But there are things we need to take of while we're there.

We've made our home here in Cape Coral and as she says a change of scenery would be good for bot of us.  I've talked to my Spirit Guides about it and have been listening.  I went to YouTube about listening to Angells, but all the videos I've found are about talking to them.  I mention this, but it's not talking I need to do.  I need to listen.  I talk when I'm stressed, and instead I need to listen.  

What do they say to me?  I can live with my Angels anywhere.  But for me change is stressful.  My wife knows this about me.  I've been listening, but lately that seems hard for me to do.  I'll be fine once we get to NY.  It's what we have to do to go there.  Especially for six or seven weeks.  So, I'd rather talk than listen, but listening is something I need to be doing now.  

So, how do we listen to Spirit Guides?  When I'm not stressed I listen.  The key is stress reduction.  My pipe helps, but listening requires a quiet mind.  My wife knows when I'm listening and she knows when I'm stressed.  We've survived 50 years by her understanding.  I can be difficult at times and God says he can't talk to me when I am stressed.  He'll tell me that we need to talk, but He won't speak unless I'm quiet.  That is the key.  Our minds must be quiet in order to listen.  Mine sometimes isn't.  

But my Spirit Guides say they can be in NY as much as they can be here in Florida.  And there is a Divine reason for me to be in NY.  I must be relaxed about going.  They say I have a reason to be wherever I am.  That is key.  So, they tell me to look forward to going.  They tell me there will be no stress for my being there.  And I am to look forward.  We may not understand all things, but He is the one who understands.  

This is the path of my Sirritual journey I must take.  He says to simply relax about it.  How do I know this is God speaking?  Listening is a path of Peace.  This is how I know.  As the time gets closer to leave I have more Peace aboit going.  This is how I know.  I'm letting those in my life know I am at peace.  But for quite awhile I wasn't.  But now I am.  I've been listening.  Sometimes I STILL want to talk, but I'm at my very best when I am listening.  God knows this about me.  We always do better when we listen.  

So, this is about my Spiritual journey this morning.  I'm at my very best when I'm listening.  I'm best when my mind is quiet and peaceful.  This is how we know we are listening.  It's the only way God can speak.  I'm listening this morning smoking my Nording Number 3 pipe with some Haunted Bookshop English pipe tobacco.  I might be writing but I'm really sharing here.  I can do that in this blog.  I'll say here what needs to be said and then just listen.  I'm letting everyone in my life know I've been listening.  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...
