Do I Ever?
I wrote this yesterday and still like it this morning. So, here it is:
Do I read old posts for my own enjoyment? Not really. I try to go over every post to make it as perfect as I can. But very seldom do I go back over old ones and read them. Only unless I am curious about what I said before. It might seem I smoke the same pipes and tobaccos regularly. It’s too expensive for me to order many tobaccos in small quantities. And if I enjoy a certain tobacco I’ll order it regularly.
I might say similar things in various posts, but I might go back to see how I said something before. The ideas might be similar, but I try not to repeat the same idea over and over. I’ll go back over titles of posts I have made. I’ll get an idea and wonder if I’ve said something similar before. Doing this helps me keep my memory sharp.
I might write about Old Professor pipe tobacco a lot, but I try to keep an idea fresh. If it’s Germaine, I’ll add it to the discussion. It all just depends. I used to call my Angels my Spirit Guides, but now I’ll call them my Angels. I was hesitant about calling my Angels my Angels, but now I have no fear in doing so. I try to keep my writings fresh. I might have said the same thing before, but it’s still relevant to today.
Everything I say is relevant to today. At least this is my thinking. I only smoke a few tobaccos the same month. I rotate my pipes as much as I can, but I have my favorites. My Angels are always the same. But every single day is different. My thinking is different every day. I just try not to be stuck in a groove. Writing must be fresh or it’s not relevant to today.
I sit a lot smoking my pipes, or so it seems. But my mind is on different things every single day. It just depends. Yesterday, I gave thought to being a crazy old man. I liked what I wrote yesterday. Some days I post and then after a few hours later I might hope no one sees that post. Some posts surprise even myself. But I want my posts to just be about whatever is on my mind that day.
And if I feel I have nothing to say that day, I simply won’t post. Here I write a kind of diary. I’m just sharing it with others. Sometimes I need a break. I’ll send the link to just a few and post on FB. Otherwise I let google handle the information. If anyone wants to read my posts they are in public view. But I write only for my own pleasure in writing. And it’s okay if a few days go by and I’ve posted nothing.
The Spirit didn’t give me something to say. And it’s okay if I have nothing to say. If I have something to say, I’ll say it, post it, and generally I’ll remember what I have to remember and forget about the rest. These posts are to be fun with just an idea to think about. I’ll share my thoughts and move on.
I just don’t want to be stuck in a groove. Everything is to be fresh, not stale. It just depends on how I am thinking every single day. If I feel I am stuck, it’s writer’s block. No writing should be forced. All writing flows. I want my writing to be a conversation, even if I just write for myself. If it does not flow, no need to write.
I simply enjoy doing this. If I didn’t, I’d find something else. But this way I’m not bothering anyone. If you don’t want to read it no one is forcing you. I post it and then the Spirit chooses who reads it. No one sees me smoking my pipe and sitting here, but most know I do. I’m letting you see just a bit of my mind. God sees the rest. I’m at my best alone with God while smoking my pipe. It’s why I smoke a pipe, usually alone. He and I have a lot to discuss. Thank you for your time and Peace to each one of you.
Dave
