A Lot of Stresses

-

 I've been told I hide my stress well.  My family has seen the ugly side of stress, but most often it's hidden.  I do whatever it takes to manage stress.  This is why my Spirit Guides want me to never stop taking my meds.  I've made sure I have for 30 years.  There for awhile it seemed almost impossible for me to get them, but I've always managed to get proper care so I could have them.  

But it's not just medications.  It is whatever I have to do to manage stress.  I almost at times wish I could change my theology, but I can't.  If I could have done that, I'd still be in the Church.  So, because I can't change it, I've had to learn to deal with it, but I never let the professionals know why I have to my meds.  I simply tell them to not change the meds.  Just make sure I have them.  I don't want to get into why they are important.

I've had the best care for saving my life.  My thinking is that if I do my part, my Spirit Guides will do the rest.  This seems true in all I do.  I can hide it well and when I don't and it surfaces I can get very much out of form until I take time to relax and reconnect with my Guides.  I'm human and sometimes my humanity come through.  But it usually doesn't take very long for me to reconnect.  

Stress is my mortal enemy.  I know one way or another it COULD kill me.  But I never let it win.  I can be attacked but it's never a battle.  I'm vulnerable at certain times.  But I'll never let it win.  I have a lot of help to deal with it.  But I must make sure I'm never too tired.  And I make sure I have my meds.  In fact, I work very hard to make sure ilife is never too much.  I'm vulnerable because I'm human.  But my Spirit is strong and always make sure it is.  Whatever it takes I do.  

Getting a good night's sleep is a must.  Getting plenty of relaxation is a must.  Making sure I eat right and take care of my body is a must.  It's important I never get too tired.  I've had to learn how to deal with it and sometimes I still have to learn.  But my Spirit Guides will make sure I have all the ammunition I need to fend it off.  I often wish I could explain more, but really, I've explained enough.  Knowing what matters to God is every Human Life is the stress. Everyone has stress, but my kind of stress is different.  I have ways to deal with it.  And everyone finds their own way. 

My way is meditation with my pipe.  This seems to work best.  No one I know is going to violate God's law if I can help it.  There is just one law:  Human Life.  That is the stress.  There's just too much needless death in the world today.  Everyone deserves life!  There's too much warfare.  And too much hatred.  The world needs more Peace. and love.  There just isn't enough of both.  So, I smoke my pipe and let God deal with it all.  Death in this world wears me out.  There's too much of it needlessly.  My pipe this morning is my Peterson Irish Harp pipe with some Old Professor.  My coffee this morning is Stumptown Homestead Holler Mountain 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...

 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...
