A Day of Rest

When I sit down to write, a post either flows from me or it doesn't.  If I'm thinking too much about what I want to say here, it's a post that usually is deleted.  An idea has to flow.  It's almost as if I'm not thinking.  I get an idea and if I'm thinking too hard, it wont flow.  This is my opportunity to write for quite a few.  If I didn't ebjoy doing this, I wouldnt do it.  My Spirit Guides move my fingers on my phone, but it's them that have to do it.  I am but an instrument and I'm quite human.   

We're in NY this morning waiting for our ride to our home.  I'm finally comfortable with that, but for quite awhile I wasn't.  What changed?  Me.  I changed.  I came to accept it.  But for quite awhile I didn't.  And maybe even still I am still struggling to accept it.  But that's okay.  I said this blog wasn't for therapy.  No, but it is partly about my own Spirituality. In fact everything here is a part of my Spirituality.  My pipe is a part of my Spirituality.

The CEO of Cracker Barrel said something at a call meeting with investors that caused the stock to tank, but she had to say it.  Cracker Barrel is losing money.  They lost customers during the pandemic and they haven't come back.  She couldn't lie to investors.  But she said they are investing $750M in updating all stores and changing their menu items. I don't know the worth of Cracker Barrel, but it has to be billions.  

She had been at the helm for ten months and knew changes had to made.  I know Cracker Barrel talked of adding alcohol to their menu and they might have to go that route to attract a younger demographic.  Their bread-and-butter customers are older, who tend to be more conservative, but if they want to grow, they have to make some changes.

I mentioned this because changes can be good.  And THAT is my point.  My wife feels going to NY will be good for both of us.  And my Spirit Guides say she's right.  It took awhile, but I accepted it, even still maybe not totally.  And now I'm listening, although sometimes I still want to talk.  And sometimes when I do, I get myself in a place I'd rather not be.  So, I let them work.  After 30 years I'm still learning.  Listening can be hard for me sometimes, but I'm at my best when I let my Guides work.  

I'm sure they've wanted to give up on me at times, but of course, they won't.  I'm still growing.  And as long as I have breath I will.  I'll learn too.  So, while we might not like change, it always is for the best.  I'm hoping Cracker Barrel survives.

I'll survive too.  My pipe really helps.  I'm at my best relaxing smoking my pipe.  I'm listening to my Spirit Guides asking them to help me close this morning.   It's Sunday and I might smoke my Angel pipe today with some Old Professor pipe tobacco.  I'm not sure what my coffee is this morning but it's black and hot.  My Spirit Guides tell me that's all I need to say for this post today.  Thank you for your time and Peace to each one you.
