A Day of Barefoot

It’s strange how, often, things we

anticipate end up being no big deal.

Today was one of those days.

I was really, really looking forward to One Day Without Shoes.

A whole day with an excuse to go barefoot!

And, more importantly, to raise awareness for something huge!

What’s not to lov

e?

Enter nasty sinus infection.

I’d had big plans to go out for coffee, take Mae to a park, maybe even walk around the mall…all barefoot. So fun! But I knew, even yesterday morning, that there was no way I’d be doing those things today.

I needed to take care of myself more than I needed to make a statement to the world…or, ahem…C’ville. 😉

I love One Day Without Shoes…I think it promotes an awesome cause, and TOMS Shoes gives so much back, not just to communities, but literally, to the world.

There’s no way I couldn’t support an organization like that. (Oh, and this is the pair I like. 😉 Well, the next time I need shoes, anyway…)

I did go barefoot all day, though, and so did my girl. I even went to bed last night with no socks on because

I wanted to be barefoot the. whole. day. And I took Maelie outside for a few minutes so she could swing, and we were both barefoot then, too.

The good thing is that I’ve got a whole year until the next one to get some good plans going…I think it would be fun to see an entire town go barefoot. Yeah, I dream big.

😉

And it was a good reminder for me to be thankful for all the blessings I’ ve been gi

ven.

Shoes included, even if I love being barefoot.

Thanks to TOMS for all you do…and for the lives you’re changing.

And if you’re looking for a new pair of shoes, go here. You buy a pair, they give one to a child who needs them.

Win-win. Love it.
