I'm doing 22 things
Some of the guilt I bear does not merit the weight it creates. I aspire to live guiltlessly as long as I don’t wantonly hurt myself or anyone else!

I have areas in my yard that gets little sun – so I’ve developed a “Rockery” in lieu of a flower garden. My interest in collecting rocks has become a pasttime. It’s very touchy though, because beach rocks create barriers and should not be removed. But…being a natural beachcomber, I naturally find myself sticking a few pebbles in my pocket – here and there. I comb many area beaches, I am not depleting any one area of beach (can’t you hear the guilt?). But what I have created is giving me unabashed pleasure and the walks on the beach soothe my tormented soul. I do believe I will continue!
