Guilty Pleasures


My friend Dee advised me "don't should on yourself." Still, my inner voice always tells me what I should do. Usually that has to do with getting things done, working harder, improving myself or this world I live in. Those, I know, come from my upbringing. I owe my Type A to my dad - cArl. Since I retired though I am discovering my inner Type B - Betty. Is it always true our parents are our ying and yang?

Still my guilty pleasures these days aren't anything to be ashamed of. I knit. I leisurely read the New Yorker with coffee on Sunday mornings. I walk the beach barefoot thinking of what matters most. I get a massage once in a while and think I should have (oops, there I go....) donated the money to charity.

It's all about balance, right? I am going to pick up the house - then I'll walk the beach.
