When I am shelling on the beach, the rest of the world melts away. My breathing gets easier because my body loosens up and my whole outlook widens. To think of anything that is constricted about shelling seems like an oxymoron to me. Constricting and shelling are contradictory words!

Toni<\/a><\/strong> had a theme going… KITTEN’S PAWS in a kitten’s paw bag.<\/p>\n
