Shiny Red Shoes

I needed a pick-me up;  I wanted to reward myself.  I had some very good coupons at a couple of stores that I like.  I did pick up a couple of useful items to add to my wardrobe---to upgrade and replace some ill-fitting pieces.

But what I really wanted was red shoes.  I have been searching the internet for a long time, and I have not seen any red shoes that really speak to my need and desire.  I cannot wear the spiky heel type.  I did find some red ones which were practical and clunky,  which is what I usually wear these days, as a senior citizen with damaged feet.   But those do not satisfy.

At the DSW store, a pair of shiny red shoes caught my eye.  They are really flashy.  I tried them on. To stand there in them did not hurt at all.  To walk around in them might be a different matter.  I figured that I might be able to wear them for an hour---to church perhaps.  I have "bad feet"  (meaning they hurt and most shoes make them hurt more).

But I decided that the bright red shiny shoes cheer me up just to look at them!   So even if I just look at them once a month or perhaps wear them once a year,  that would make me happy!

So I bought the shiny red patent-leather shoes.

They satisfy!
