A Matter Of Guilt

Every morning when I strap on my new wrist watch, I first have a moment of joy, then the moment of guilt.
Sure it was purchased with an unexpected windfall, and sure it was only half the retail price and sure it was something I desperately wanted..... and still
there is a nagging little voice telling me how much I could have done with that money I so frivolously spent on a watch, like paying bills and buying groceries .
I have no clear answer for that.
And imagine what kind of guilt I shall have to fight when I buy a cellular phone.
And I am neither Catholic nor Jewish
just prone to guilt.

Do you have to be Catholic or Jewish to have guilt? I am neither and have guilt, but in my mind some guilt, can be healthy!
Just a thought,

If you buy grosery, or paid bills, it's not visseble. But now - every time you want to check the time, you should have a joyfull feeling telling you that you are the owner of somthing special, because you are special. And thats how it is.
No guilt - only JOY!!
