ANY Kind of Saturday

-

 It's Saturday morning and I usually work on a post the morning before posting.  I began this on Thursday, but went over it this morning and made all my corrections and additions before posting.  But this morning it is and I'm sitting here as I have been all week just listening.  There are things I need to do while we are here, but the fact is that I do enjoy taking care of a house.  It is our investment and we need to care for it while we are here.  

But really, I'll do whatever needs to be done.  I'm not here to just sit on the deck, listen, and smoke my pipe.  I'm here to do some work too.  My wife is limited in what she can do.  Sure, I'd rather sit on the deck, smoke my pipe, and watch flies buzzing around, but things need to be done.  We are sharing the house with renters, but my wife works downstairs and I'm out of the way on the deck most of the time.  

But my quiet times involves listening mostly.  I'm not absorbed in thought like I can be while on the lanai in Florida, but my Spirit Guides brought me here to listen.  Sure I can write while I'm here and I have this blog, but this blog takes up about an hour of my time each day.  I do it for the mental exercise.  Sure, I think, but I have to really make sure my thoughts don't control my emotions.  I ponder on what I feel each day I am here.  I saw a funny sign that said, "You can lead a man to ponder, but you cannot make him think."  A take-off of the old adage, "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink."

If I ever thought of this blog as work, I'd quit right now.  This is not meant to be work.  I share my thoughts and my path with you.  You may be wondering as to what is on my mind this morning.  Not a whole lot actually, but if I'm listening, you might wonder what it is I hear.  Is there anything my Spirit Guides are telling me this morning?  Maybe it is simply to be at Peace about all things.  I'll think of something that has caused me stress and my Guides will say to be at peace about it.  Spirit Guides are Peace and Love and they kiss tears.

Even in regard to the house.  I just be at peace about things that need to be done.  It will get done in good time.  Stress is my worst enemy.  It affects both my heart and my mind.  A path of Peace begins with myself.  After 30 years and since my heart attack, I'm still learning.  But the Creator has time on the side of Creation.  This is something I must remember.  I am smoking my Peterson System pipe this morning with Lane 1-Q, while drinking a cup of hot 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...
