Opinion: Doing nothing can be something

For reasons too inconsequential to mention, I found myself in Fresno doing nothing Saturday. That, in itself, is odd for me.

Although I would never be described as a dynamo, I usually always am busy with something, and almost always have a task waiting to keep me busy once I’m through with whatever I may be doing at the moment. But on Saturday that was not the case.

I found myself merely sitting. Frankly, it wasn’t bad. At first, I felt guilty.
