I have a confession to make… I am about as anti- shoe as you can get! Yep, I am serious. I hate most shoes! Since I guess high school really I have worn rainbows (flip flops) 98% of the time. Even last year when it snowed for two days; I just could not bring myself to wear real shoes! Now this is something that for years I have prided myself with. Rainbows are my favorite shoes and I have had very little use for any other pair. For church or when I need to really dress up I will go for dress shoes or boots- other than that no need!
Sunday as I was getting ready to take my son to a birthday party I donned my cute semi-dressy sweater, jeans, and you guessed it, my rainbows. (Flip flops) As I looked in the mirror it hit me- I might just be getting too old to pull this off!
I thought about this all day long, and many hours of worry later, I called my mom and cried as I explained my revelation. She tried to comfort me without laughing hysterically, but ultimately agreed that maybe it was time that I broaden my shoe selection.
So it is with a grieving heart that I promise to buy some real shoes, and socks, and on my birthday I will put away my Rainbows for the entire winter. This much I can guarantee, I am gonna miss being young enough to wear flip flops all year long.
