My Shoes

I look down at my shoes they look smelly, battered and worn. They have run errands, made trips to the park, traveled far and wide. They are not pretty but they are sturdy. The enable me to run, chase after the kids, and catch the dog. It's my shoes that make me who I am and what I hope to be...

We trudge along paths, wide open roads, some of us with dreams without limits and other finding solace in the quiet of a book. If the shoe makes the man what does it say about me? I prefer the road less traveled and the adventures of life.

I always wonder what it would be like to walk in another shoes. Would they feel like home? Uncomfortable? If there was one shoe I would walk in who would it would be? In my books it would be the trailblazers who fought for women's equality.

I think of Gloria Steinem and Betty Friedan. Trail blazers of the past and icons for the future.They soldiered forward and put up the good fight! It's them that I can thank for being a woman comfortable in my own shoes.

Whose shoes would you like to walk in? And where are your own shoes taking you?

SylverBlaque I caught the end of it and was mad at myself for forgetting about it! She is an inspiration, a role model, and someone who knows how to give a good fight :)

with 2 teenage daughters in the house, there are no shortage of shoes to walk in, trip over and kick out of the way. I slip on whatever is closest to the door when the dog has to go out for a midnight piddle....my favorite are the youngest's silver lame high-tops with little mercury wings sticking out on the side...make me feel like I'm flying while the dog wanders around the yard...

lmoe I would love a pair of those - it would make me want to fly too :)

Love this!, and I'm not sure who's shoes I'd choose, I guess I'm still looking for my own.

I'd like to walk in [the Bible's] Ruth's shoes - a woman of great faith.

And my shoes, for the present, aren't taking me very far. But let's consider them airing out, while I ponder on my future journey. (smile!)

Always best to air out our shoes....Now where is that FreBreeze?

victorias_view Lately it feels as if I've just finished one long pilgrimage and am now starting another. LOL! The walk never finishes, and my shoes have many more miles to cover.
