I
would love to love my feet, but right now one of my feet is in SO
MUCH PAIN! (Don't worry, I just have a benign cyst that is putting
pressure on my nerves – Ouch!!!)
Because
I cannot stand to wear shoes with this cyst, I've been walking around
the house we are painting and fixing up with bare feet. And, some
more ouchies! In the past few days, I've stepped on a sewing needle
and a fishhook!
Well,
all of this pain in my feet can make me extra sympathetic for people
who cannot afford shoes that fit. Not having proper footwear means
you might have to walk on snowy ground or icy-cold concrete and then,
later in the year, burning hot concrete and rocks, with bare or only
partially covered feet. It means that you get blisters or ingrown
toenails or arch problems from shoes that don't fit. It means that
you once in a blue moon step on something so sharp that even your
tough soles are cut. It means that you have to deal with a lot of
pain that could be prevented...with properly fitted shoes.
Today
is a great day to donate new or "gently used" shoes to Soles4Souls or
another organization that specializes in distributing shoes to those
in need.
Remember, men, women, and children live in poverty – so
charities need all sorts of shoes in a variety of sizes.
