Old friends

I love these shoes.

It hasn't always been that way - when I first got them they were uncomfortable, they didn't seem to fit. Now they feel like a second skin. They're tattered and torn, they're wearing thin in places, they really shouldn't be seen in public but I'm not ashamed - I wear them when I need comfort, sureness and flexibility. I wore them today - they did their bit to help me begin to let go of the holiday and ease into work mode, which resumes on Friday.

I owe a lot to my old friends who are more than just shoes.
