On The Way To Catharsis
November 22, 2007
One of the best and worst things about me is I seldom follow through. I must’ve really been wallowing in self-pity when I set a goal of four posts on catharsis. I guess I really just needed one. I sat down last night to take my second trip and got distracted by a giant bag of sugar free lollipops. Then I remembered my friend Lynne telling me years ago her daily mantra was, “happy feet, happy mind.” She even sent me crazy socks from time to time just to remind me to keep my feet happy.
My friend Tammy is like-minded, only she doesn’t know. It’s not the colors that put a little pep in her step, but toe-socks do the trick for her. Mostly because she knows I think it’s insane and so she’ll tell me every time she wears a pair. Then she giggles. Happy feet, happy mind.
I’m grey heel/toe on white, personally. I like the lines. I like the routine. I like trusting my socks. Secure feet… secure mind?
Happy feet, happy mind. Happy feat, happy mind.
It’s technically Thanksgiving here. I guess I’m thankful for happy feet. If ya got ‘em, flaunt ‘em.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Toe socks drive me NUTS. I’m a boring white crew socks kind of girl.
I’m more of a happy belly, happy mind person. Chocolate and cake and cookies…mmmmm….
Then my feet aren’t so happy cuz I have to work off the chocolate and cake and cookies…but at least my mind is happy.
i’m not sure what kind of happy mind person i am. i think i’m more of a “out of my head”, happy mind person. heh

My feet are happiest without socks on – though in the winter when my feet are little iceburgs walking around you can often find me in my Goofy slippers – they make me very happy.
heh. of course you have goofy slippers!

I love being barefoot.
But I have a sock collection that at one time rivalled any woman’s shoe fetish. I have socks with llamas, butterflies, frogs, Marvin the Martian, . . . and I have toe socks.
I guess in a former period of my life I was very much like your two friends.
Today I’m wearing my husband’s slippers because I can’t find mine and it’s too cold to bare toes. Too lazy to go upstairs to the now-dwindling sock collection. Hawaii ruined my fetish.
Now I’m totally off tangent. I’m glad you’re getting back to yourself.
thanks zen. i’m going to do my best to stay in this place. i’ve missed you guys.
