"Hey, I put some new shoes on
And suddenly everything's right
I said
Hey, I put some new shoes on and everybody's smiling"
Paola Nutini, "New Shoes"
Ain't it the truth - that if you put on some new shoes, your view on life changes? It is for me. I got new shoes recently at Parisian. They were MAJOR on sale and Doc. B. helped me find them. And how appropriate that I had new boots for my first ever country music concert (see
Blue Mailbox for further details).
This is my second pair of "real" boots in my 42 year history. I remember purchasing my first ever pair on a trip out west with my family when I was about 13 or 14. Have you ever heard of
Wall Drug? I'm thinking that's were I got them but I'm not certain. I squeezed my size 8 feet into those size 7 boots for years - many years beyond the time that I actually wore a size 7. I eventually gave them away and have never owned a pair since. Now I do... and everybody's smiling...
