I hate wearing shoes. Just hate it. I only wear shoes if I'm going out to a place where going barefoot would be socially unacceptable. Otherwise, I remain barefoot. Yes, I cut my feet sometimes, or get stone bruises. I've even been bitten by a snake. My husband says that I have Hobbit Feet...not because they are huge and furry, but because they seem impervious to pain. This comes from YEARS of the barefoot lifestyle, walking across rocks and hard ground, glass and whatever else is under my tootsies. From the first day of Spring until late in the Fall, you will find me sans shoes, whether it be in the house, outdoors, or any other place where I can get away with it. This hatred of footwear can cause problems in the winter, however. It seems that I have some sort of circulatory deficiency that causes me to have FREEZING feet! When I get into bed in winter, the first thing my husband says to me is, "Keep your icicle feet OFF of me!" That's where my snuggly bedroom shoes come into play, the most comfortable thing next to being barefoot. I don't care if they look silly either, as long as they are warm. I have worn the classic "bunny slippers", slippers that looked like bears, monsters, even Homer Simpson. My favorites right now are my Stewie slippers. The cat hates them, but they are incredibly snuggly are toasty. I feel that it's really important to be thankful for even the smallest of things. And for that reason, today I am thankful for my cozy bedroom slippers.
