Feet…

Well, I need to talk about them. I know that most of us have a bit of an aversion regarding the topic of feet. Nobody {except one person I know} thinks that they have pretty ones and we spend lots of money on pedicures, potions and polishes to make them acceptable in society.

I am a foot abuser. Seriously. I do get the occasional pedicure when I am feeling extraordinarily sad about their condition, but when I am not in my stiletto pumps, or pointy toe boots, I am barefoot, on hot pavement, in the landscaping, by the pool, driving to the bank, running through the grass, getting Lily ready for her wedding day…

..

I love being barefoot, so you would think I would treat my feet with kindness. Maybe it’s an outward sign of solidarity and love for my bird and his {truly funky} feet. Sometimes, I will glance over at him, and he will actually be staring at them… it almost seems like he is thinking, “how could those mini dino-feet be attached to this beautiful body?”… rhetorical, of course…

The condition of my feet prompts certain clothing choices based on how they are looking on a particular day. I had a gorgeous little pair of strappy sassy sandals that I had planned to wear for my mother-of-the-bride role the day of Lily’s wedding. But my feet were stained so badly from the chlorophyll oozing from the beautiful green spring grass, that I had to go with pumps… safe, comfortable, concealing. Don’t feel bad for me, though, it worked out fine. I was happy and my feet were happy…

But as I have undertaken this detoxification process for my body… I am noticing things that I never, ever, ever would have expected. Like normal blood pressure, {from 208/176}, no more stomach pain, no more indigestion, or trouble sleeping on my left side, better rest, clearer, smoother skin, a smaller body, zest for life and get this….. pretty feet. I KNOWW!! Surprising, but true.

These unexpected side effects inspire me to keep making better choices and propel me directly toward living well… running barefoot all the way.

LIVE WELL.
