Yup, I've been convinced that without a pedicure at least every other week, not only was I not beach-ready, I was really socially unacceptable. This is not that much of an exaggeration.
Lately, I've been rethinking this. Or, perhaps I mean, re-feeling this. I've been paying more attention to my feet. Spreading a little cuticle oil on daily. Using foot lotion before bed. A little gentle buffing in the shower. And I am beginning to really like my feet. OK, even love them. Here are the sweet little unadorned piggies, which don't look all that horrendous after all!
Sounds trivial, this? Talking about my feet and pedicures? Think again! This is a vital part of the process of a person who formerly used alcohol to hide from herself now re-discovering and re-owning herself and her truth!!
I just absolutely LOVE this! I've read it 3 times. Great post! (Those are some cute piggies!)
ReplyDeleteFunny how the little things add up!
DeleteI love this post too -- so intimate, and yet so universal. Our poor old feet have been carrying us back and forth to the fridge for wine top-ups for so many years. Now it's time for them to get some personal love and attention.
ReplyDelete"back and forth to the fridge"- giggle, how very true!!
DeleteHa ha love Sue's comment.. but also love this post very much. All these slow unfoldings and acceptances. You are not your feet!!!! (but your feet are fine by the way) xxx
ReplyDeleteSlow unfoldings- Yes! the mundane makes the underpinnings for the more obvious changes!
DeleteHi Carrie! This post makes me happy. I love your outlook on life.
ReplyDeleteJenn aka Signgurl, 129 days sober. :)
Cool, I hadn't realized we were at exactly the same stage! I hope you are feeling (most of the time) as good as I feel (most of the time!). Congratulations on 129+ days!!!
