Quiet Music and Sunshine

-

 We don’t get as much sun here in upstate NY as we do in Florida.  I did think I’d be dodging rain drops more than I have, but in less than two weeks we’ll be heading back.  I’m smoking my Estate Dunhill pipe while listening to quiet music.  I thought I’d be smoking this pipe less, but after we get back, I’ll have access to my other pipes.  

I’ll also have access to more tobacco choices.  I no longer store tobacco as I once did having smoked all I had.  I just didn’t want my family to worry about it all if anything should happen to me.  I feel the same way about my pipes.  The less they have to concern themselves the better.  I have my eye on a couple of Doctor Grabow pipes I might add to my collection.  

I don’t need more pipes and in my old age I am consolidating as much as I can.  I buy tobacco in bulk and pretty much smoke what I buy.  I don’t want family to sort through a lot of my stuff if anything should happen to me.  Simplification is best.  I find I’m buying a lot less stuff these days and still working on getting rid of a lot of stuff.  

Besides which, we are on a limited income and want to no longer be consumers.  This happens to people as they get older.  Conservation is best.  I don’t know how many tobacco storage containers I have, but according to my wife I have too many.  Sometimes I buy as many as four or five bulk tobaccos a month, but I try to stick to just one or two depending on what I want.  I have tried many blends but tobacco companies are always coming out with specialty blends. I’ll try them if available and if not I’ll order my favorites.  

In my old age I am finding simplicity is best.  I’m looking forward to smoking my pipe in the Florida sunshine.  We have had a number of over cast days here in NY.  My wife just commented it is a little chilly here on the deck today.  I’m getting ready to get back to Florida.  I have two unopened packages of tobacco I’ll take back with me to Florida.  It’s only six ounces of bulk which will last me until my next bulk order.  I smoke about 18-20 ounces of tobacco a month.  Well, those are my thoughts this afternoon as we start thinking about going back.  Thank you for your time and Peace and Love to each one of you.

Pipes and Other Things

 If anything happened to my pipes or my new cabinet or anything else I might own, they are only things.  I can live without things.  I don't drink enough alcohol to be an alcoholic, for example, so no, I don't need alcohol.  I'm writing this today as a reminder as to why I smoke a pipe.  I smoke a pipe for meditative purposes and for relaxation.  There are  no other reasons why I smoke a pipe.  I am not addicted to my pipes or the tobacco I put in them.   It is a known fact  that cigarette smokers smoke cigarettes because they are addicted to them.  I watch a lot of YouTube videos and one video I watched was about tobacco commercials from the late fifties through the sixties.  Those commercials sold cigarettes as pleasure and enjoyment with no mention of nicotine in any of the two hour video of ads.  The emphasis was on what cigarettes could do for you.  A lot of research and planning went into the filters of cig...

About Good Vs. Evil

-
 My Angels told me Satan wanted to create and God wouldn’t let him, when I asked them if there were physical unions in heaven.  But here on earth creating is good.  God allows us to create all we want, within limits.  But in doing so we do the will of God knowing He is the Giver  of all life.  My Angels didn’t tell me this, but it is my thinking that we have to recognize God is the Giver of ALL life.  This is why every human life is sacred and why only God can take a human life. This is why God will overlook any sin but the taking of Human Life.  This is my theology from my Angels and why it is so important that we control both our hatred and our anger.  This is why there is the taking of human life.  Satan knows this too and why there is evil in this world.  Without righteousness humanity wouldn’t exist. This is why I believe God won’t let the world be destroyed.  There will always be wars and rumors of war, which is why livin...

It’s About Time

 I died nearly twice in the past fifteen years.  The next major event just might end my life, so I try to just take it easy.  My philosophy about life has changed for many reasons.  It might seem that having an experience with Angels might be THE definitive event in a life, but instead of waiting to die I await the coming of the Messiah.   My heart functions at about 50%, so I try to avoid stress as much as I can.  I take medication for both my heart and my mind as I know myself quite well.  My son gave me his old Apple Watch I wear religiously.  If I should fall and get hurt, I can send as SOS message to my wife.  It detects falls.  It can do an EKG but I have yet to figure that function out.   Stress, however, is my worst enemy.  It not only can affect my heart, but my mind as well.  I check my heart beats per minute every so often and I can pretty much guess what the results are.  I am very much in tune with both m...
