just one day.

even though i "need" a pedicure

and

it's cold & rainy today

and

i have [way too many] pairs of shoes in my closet i could wear....

today i will go without shoes.

even to take the girls to school,

to take ellie to physical therapy,

to play outside in a bit,

and to the grocery store later.

it is for Tom's Day Without Shoes.

it is for them.

for the children that die every single day simply

because they don't have shoes to protect their feet from 

illness & disease.

it is for us.

to remember our blessings, 

see other's plights

and

move to action.
