Oh... just change your shoes!

So I started my day off in my usual early morning footwear fashion… slipping on some flip-flops before walking out the door. I decided when I got to work that I would wear these until someone strolled by my cube and scolded me for my inner office beach attire. But some time around 11:30 I realized I was cold and decided to slip on some other shoes. I decided on my Pink Nike’s. I haven’t worn these much since my split with her. To my pleasured surprise this small change in footwear totally lifted my sprits. It’s as though I walked taller, glided along the floor faster, and I definitely made less noise. I remember when I got these shoes. I was with an adored companion at the time and she took me to the Lady Foot Locker outlet. A store I have absolutely come to love as I am now an avid fitness fanatic.
I’m not much of a sneaker shoe shopper but she was, so we went. I peeked in so many boxes that day and then BAM!, I lifted one box lid and then another to find a pink air force 1 surprise. I can’t say I’m the biggest fan of air force 1’s either but these sneakers had my heart. I don’t know if it was the youth that they sparked in my soul or the fact that they were… in my size and pink. Either way, I was in love.
Of course I initially started this blog to tell you to change your shoes if you find yourself needing a boost, but make sure they are ones that you absolutely LOVE!

This is true in both the literal and figurative sense. Sometimes, we need to change our shoes in an effort to find a perfect fit. Gosh, I miss my blog.
