I remembered to wear my boots to The Store today, for which my ankles were extremely grateful. I've always had some degree of trouble with my feet, and as I age it doesn't seem to be getting any better. But, on the other hand, it's not exactly getting worse either.
I consider myself lucky. Of all of my family, I'm probably one of the healthiest. Touch wood. My sister has rheumatoid arthritis which is starting to become a problem for her. I've got a passle of cousins and second-cousins with a boatload of medical issues. All things considered, I'm very lucky to be in as good a shape as I am, wonky feet and prospective kidney stones aside.
I used to have a pair of kickass suede boots with fringe that I wore ALL THE TIME. I had a coat to match them and when I wore them together, I wouldn't walk. I would strut. I just felt super confident in those boots and coat. Sadly, both boots and coat are long gone, victims of the passage of time and some serious wear and tear. I still think about them every once in a while and when I do, I just smile.
The boots I wore today are ankle-boots. They aren't sexy, but they are really comfortable and I can tell my feet feel better when I wear them. Especially, if I've been having a dodgy time with my ankles.
And, like I said, I'm grateful for them.
I just wish they were sexier.
