 “Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world.” ― Marilyn Monroe I had a few errands to do on foot. As I was getting ready to leave the house, I remarked to myself, “it’s time you started taking a bit more care with how you look, especially when you are out and about, walking around the neighborhood and city streets. Dress up a bit more”. I instantly agreed with myself and marched back to my room and changed out of my shorts and t-shirt and into my brown jeans and matching chic shirt. I changed my earrings to match the new look. I added makeup - mascara and eye shadow - and touched up my lipstick. I clipped up my hair. As I was deciding between two equally comfortable walking shoes, the postman rang our doorbell, with a too-big envelope for the mail slot. I grabbed my purse and headed out. I walked a few kilometers. I was in high spirits; life was shining with meaning, direction and I had a clear sense about my life. I was happy I dressed up. I happened to catch myself in a window reflection and thought I looked good and was pleased I had changed from my shorts, t-shirt and sandals. Montrealers were out and about, enjoying the sun. I chatted with old acquaintances. All this was somewhat tiring and I still had a healthy walk to get back home. My phone rang. As I looked down to get it from my purse, I saw two completely different shoes – one camel brown and the other two-tone brown and black. I had a moment of great embarrassment. Then I laughed. Really, truly laughed. I wished in this pure moment of hilarity there was someone around to share the big cosmic joke. Here, on the inauguration of my new dress-code I catch myself wearing two different shoes. At least they were equally comfortable. And both did match my pants! Are there any lessons to be learned from this simple story?
What do you think? I'd love to hear your thoughts. Keep you posted, Coach Minda

Minda, your story is hilarious and your reactions and thoughts are so apt in my opinion. I also had a similar experience one of my very first days of teaching. 22 years old and I had just delivered my first workshop to a group of much more experienced teachers on hearing impaired students in the class. I left feeling excited, relieved, and just a little bit full of myself. Sure that everyone found me charming, I happily waved back at the worker around 15 feet ahead of me. When he gave me an even bigger wave and yelled something incomprehensible to me, I grinned and waved again. I took one more step and sank into wet cement up to my ankle!! The worker was not under my spell, but was waving me off of his newly paved sidewalk!!

We've all had these momentary experiences, but few of us allow ourselves to accord them their true value. Thanks for reminding us!

And one morning last winter, for at least two hours I was walking around the hospital where I work with a massive, new "growth" protruding from my right calf. Upon further inspection, I realized that a sock had gotten stuck under my tights and I hadn't noticed it in my haste to get dressed. Love your anecdote! Thanks for the smile. 7/9/2013 05:44:52 am
