New Shoes

As another decade comes to an end it’s time to change my shoes.  Just realized that for all this time, I’ve been wearing my safety shoes. The ones with the extra safe, no slip, grip on the bottom. Don’t get me wrong, these are wonderful shoes and they’ve been good to me. In these shoes I have learned some things, done some things and changed some things. I have met some people, birthed some people, found some people, and lost some people. All in the comfort of my trusty safety shoes! They have never let me down. They have held me up when my legs gave out. They have helped me run, when I wanted to walk. They have carried me when I had not the strength to take another step…..my good ole safety shoes.

But lately my safety shoes have not been fitting so well. Some days they are way too tight. So tight, the pain is unbearable. Then others days, they seem to be so loose I’m afraid they will fall right off my feet in mid stride!

So I got to thinking about what to do with these safety shoes and the only good answer seems to be that I need a new pair of shoes! See as the new decade approaches, I think I need a shoe that’s a little more daring, not so safe. Maybe a bold, bright color that dares to make a statement as loud as a stark white stiletto on Valentine’s Day! Yet sensible enough to be understated when paired with the right outfit. And on top of all that it’s got to be comfortable, not too small, yet not too big.

Now with all these requirements, finding these new shoes will not be easy and will definitely take some time. The search will have its ups and downs, good days and bad. But boy, when I find those shoes- WHOA!
