At one point in my life, I lived in apartments with neighbors below me.  Out of courtesy I walked softly.  Today I live in a house.  I walk more naturally now – which is a lot louder.  Sometimes I even stomp deliberately – just because I can!  As the sound shakes the house, my heart fills with gratitude that we own our own home, where we have the right and privacy to stomp whenever we choose.
