My Worst Enemy

-

Stress is my worst enemy.  I don’t want to get into what stress can do to my mind.  I can get “out there” and need to keep my stress levels manageable.  I don’t want to get into it, but I’ll trust a few people with my stresses.  But once that trust is ever violated I can no longer trust.  I take medication to help control my stresses and what they can do to me.  I’m perfectly content to spend time alone with my Angels and my thoughts.

I just had to learn to control my thoughts.  They CAN get out of whack, so to speak.  But over the years and with help from my Angels I can control my stress levels.  I don’t worry about the end of life as I have no fear of death.  If I have one fear it is too much stress.  My theological thinking can give me stress.  There is just too much needless death in the world today.

This is when I need to take time and remember that I do not judge for God.  Actually no one does.  I say to myself that I have to be as forgiving as I say God is.  But I have to also remember that my Angels didn’t make me perfect, but better.  I’m much better than I was.  Being in communication with my Angels keeps my stresses at their lowest.  I really don’t want anyone other than my Angels to have any of my stresses.  

I focus on them while I smoke my pipe.  This is why smoking my pipe lowers both my heart rate and my BP.  It looks like I don’t do much than sit and smoking my pipe.  But doing so keeps me peaceful and calm.  Most pipe smokers will say they smoke a pipe for relaxing.  I am relaxed when I give it all to the Angels.  I can’t explain it any other way.  They are my stress reducers and not anyone else.  I am best when I am focused on them.  Anyone who doubts Angels need not doubt any longer.  I am their proof.  Today my Pipe is my Gettysburg “haunted”  Pipe and my tobacco is Autumn Evening.  My coffee this morning is Trader Hoe’s Joe 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...
