dear feet

Dear Feet,

Last night, Laurence grabbed one of you and gave it a loving squeeze as he walked by me. Talk about a surprise feel-good moment!! WOW

Feet, beautiful or ugly as you may be, you are a wondrous and forgotten part of people's bodies.  I apologize for all the abuse we humans put you through each day. Pass that along to all your other feet friends!

~We put you on the floor in the morning and expect you to go from zero to 60 with no warm up. 
~We use you to kick objects out of our way, open doors, use your tippytoes to reach up high, run to catch the bus, run for health, walk, skip, hop, dance....
~We stuff you into torture devices shoes. (Well, Feet, you know that I don't like to do that unless the snow is blowing...or I have to run, perform box jumps, or do some double unders on you.)
~We get frustrated when you feel less than stellar.
...better said, we don't really feel you at all, Feet, until you do feel less than stellar.
Talk about utter neglect!

It's always hard to hear when someone has something seriously wrong with a foot or worse, both of their feet.  It's also not surprising that it happens.  We ride rough on you guys. 
Let's let you heal. Love you up.  Be kind to you. 
Reflexology doesn't get nearly enough 'air time'.  That may be how I should be choosing to pamper you two more often...right to the source of AHHHH. :)

That squeeze Laurence gave you led to those glorious few minutes of him literally squeezing both of you. Do you remember how great that felt? 

I promise not to be so neglectful of you from now on.  You have been very good to me and I just want to thank you!

love,
your person and her daughter...feet buddies
annie, your person
