You know what doesn't get enough love? Our feet. They are
nothing short of spectacular. Sometimes they’re smelly, aching, and without
pedicures, but they're still spectacular. Today I’d like to focus on the beautiful fact
that they eventually stop growing. What a dang blessing. I’d like to think of
it as a “good for you” reward for making it through the teenage growth spurt
years. *shudder*
They just…stop growing! You no longer have to worry so much
about them. You don’t have to buy new shoes every four months following growing
pains. One of the beauties of adulthood is buying your own shoes; and,
hopefully, your style is improving and solidifying with age, so you are putting
some serious thought into your footwear. You aren't buying flimsy, throwaway
shoes anymore. (Exception: those crap rubber flip flops. We all seem to have a
pair.) Now, you’re buying those pumps that are built to last, those hiking boots for years of future adventures, or
Allen Edmonds dress shoes as you leave the homework behind and enter the
corporate world. You can drop $100 on a pair of shoes knowing you'll wear them at least 100 times. I think it’s a lovely coincidence that by the time we’re
investing in quality shoes, our feet are ready for them, and will stay that
way. Grown-up world is so weird and tough in many ways, but at least we can
count on our feet staying the same size for a good long while. It’s these
little (odd) things, folks. Let’s smile about ‘em.
Mirror this 13 second video to show your new found appreciation for your feet...and I dare you to not smile.
