Barefoot

In which I explain the name of my blog.

Have you ever run around outside with bare feet? Summer time is the best- the feel of hot pavement against your skin as you race to the neighbors lawn.

Sitting in the soft, green grass and talking with your girlfriends as it tickles your toes.

Squirting the pavement with a hose and then splashing around in the warm water. Making footprints down the sidewalk until every last drop is faded away with the heat.

Sitting on the edge of the pool and dipping your feet in while reading the latest best-selling novel.

My favorite is standing at the beach as the waves come in and out. The sand slowly falls from under your feet and you sink lower and lower.

Bare feet aren't just confined to summer, either.

Nothing beats kicking off your shoes at the end of a long day and snuggling up in the lovesack with feet tucked safely under a blanket.

Feeling the cool sheets as you slide your feet into bed at night.

Sipping hot chocolate as you toast your toes by the warmth of a fire.

A much needed massage, when you're 9 months pregnant, from a loving hubby.

And my very favorite - tickling precious little baby feet and kissing each and every teeny,tiny toe.

I feel a lot through my feet.

And I always think best when they're free.
