A Lonely Shoe on the Beach

Time for a story …
A Schustory about a lonely shoe sitting on the beach ….

You never ever know what treasures you will find on a daily beach walk. Could be shells, sea glass, sea beads, three of my favorite. I’ve found sunglasses, toys, flowers, driftwood and what not. Still waiting to find a complete sand dollar and a message in a bottle! But today sitting all by itself on a very clean beach was a high heeled shoe. A shoe with a soul and not it’s body. I got to thinking about this shoe. The life it lead before washing up on the shore. First of all it lost its partner, and where is that partner? How sad! What human did it belong to, where did it come from, what color and shape was its body before it was lost. Was it worn in happy times or sad times, what kind of events did it attend? Did it go to dance parties, what dresses did it compliment? So many questions, so many thoughts. We all have a story to tell. And let’s not even think about the part of the shoe having a soul without a body … now that’s a whole other story for another time.

Oh just another day of pondering and wondering on the beach in Melbourne Beach Florida, my home away from home on a beautiful sunny day in the life of Susan Schuster Hoffman “aka” the author of ‘Schustories’ :)
