Time to Move On

-

 Of course, I’m still thinking about Christmas, but I am thinking about the New Year as well.  In fact, the whole period after Thanksgiving is the holiday period.  But as the old year comes to a close, it’s now just not Christmas but a New Year.  The week after Christmas we begin thinking of another year.  What will 2025 bring?  

I have written about a New Beginning and need not say any more about it.  And the old year is not yet over.  In some ways I am thinking that maybe I’ll spend more time at the beach and I’ll be thinking about many things.    My Spirit Guides still speak to me and I listen better than I talk or write.  Sometimes I talk too much, but most of the time I’m quiet. 

During the Christmas season I listen to the music.  I love Christmas music especially.  I wrote about this not long ago and there is no need to go over it again.  But I love the carols more than I do the songs of Christmas.   And I wrote about the carols not long ago and don’t need to mention them again.  I enjoy YouTube vids of Christmas scenes even without music.  I can watch vids of fireplaces with or without music.  

Christmas is about atmosphere.  In some ways it’s romantic.  In other ways it’s relaxing.  In every way Christmas is a special time of year.  And we enjoy the season with loved ones.  We gather with friends.  My wife writes a Christmas letter every year.  She starts thinking about it before Thanksgiving and has it written about a week after Thanksgiving.  

Just enjoy the season for what it is.  Christmas traditions come and go.  But the one tradition that hasn’t changed in a half millennium is that Christmas is the same date every year.  It really is a special time.  I’m relaxing with my “haunted”Gettysburg pipe this morning with Cinnamon Cavendish and my coffee is Stumptown Holler Mountain.  Thank you for your time and Peace to each 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...
