So in this week where we concentrate on simplifying our life, today August 6, is “Wiggle Your Toes Day”!
I kind of doubt that simplify your life week and wiggle your toes days were intended to be so closely related, but the more I think about it the more appropriate it is.
One of the first things I do when I come home from work is kick off my shoes. I like to be barefoot. Especially if I am anywhere near the ocean. Isn’t there something so basic and “simple” about going without shoes and something so joyous about being able to freely wiggle your toes?!
I don’t understand how people can sleep with socks on. I feel like I can’t breathe with socks on in bed!
And before the comments start piling up…yes, I did very well in anatomy…I know that you don’t breathe with your feet. It’s merely a comment to express how claustrophobic I feel with socks on in bed. Kind of a way of explaining how much I appreciate being able to wiggle my toes.
Anyway, kick off your boots or heels or even your sandals, simplify your life and wiggle your toes!
Trust me, I love shoes! However, I am really looking forward to the summer months and wearing my open toe wedges, sandals or just going barefoot.
This is one girl who loves to wiggle her toes!

For years I couldn’t sleep with socks on and had a fan on my feet even in the dead of winter. Now no fan and sometimes I wear socks, they come off during the night.

Portia,
I loved wearing socks to sleep when I was much younger but just can’t now.
Who knows how I will be in few more years?!
Winter in Ballarat is cold enough I should!
Cheers,
Laura

Me too Jensine!
I just love to be barefoot.
We have wood floors in our house so even in the winter the floor is warm, which means I probably have barefeet!

Lisa,
I will watch out for foot fetish followers!
Luckily none of those lovely toes are mine.
Nice to know I am not the only one with an aversion to socks!

Laura
