Language of the sole…shoes

May 4, 2011 By Gail 26 Comments


Shoes! I love them. Maybe a little too much at times, but what the heck. I have to laugh at my reckless journey from “who cares how much they hurt as long as they look good” years, to the current, “I still want them to be cute, but no pain” years. I’m not sure when I decided blisters were a bad thing, or that limping for 3 days after wearing stylish shoes for 1 evening didn’t add up 4-sure. But it happened. Not that I’ve gone to the dark side and have a row of thick-soled sturdy beige lace-ups in my closet, but the spunk only comes out in smaller and smaller doses…like today.
Today I was sporting a pair of red peep-toe wedges. The flashes of color beneath my black and white dress made me happy as I walked around. I felt sassy, confident, a little rogue-ish. No support hose for this AARP aged woman. The defining moment was when a woman I did not know slid by me and whispered, “Nice shoes.” When I returned home and put on my sensible shoes to walk the dog, my alter ego stayed in the closet. Don’t be me! Let your bad girl shoes visit–often!

A Message From Gail

Through my blog and website, I hope to share beauty, laughter, inspiration, aging & midlife lessons and advice on dealing with menopause. I will also devote time to integrative health and healing tips and news. I want feedback and questions because, while we may be sharing the journey, every woman has her own experience and her own story.

      Good Morning!
      My blogs are meant to be simple views of aging through my eyes. If I have learned one thing as I fumble through it is that I cannot please everybody. Some people ask me to write more, some want me to write less, and some want me to write better! I truly appreciate your visits to my website and I hope you will find tidbits that inspire or make you think about what aging means in your own life. I enjoyed your response, thank you.

    Currently it seems like BlogEngine is the best blogging platform out there right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your blog?
