First, I’m sure you are wondering how burnt feet could possibly be today’s moment. And secondly, you are likely wondering how I managed to burn my feet!
First things first: Try playing beach volleyball at high noon on a hot hot day. The sand gets hot. Typically I have insensitive feet. Today the sand was unbearably hot. And yet, I continued to play beach volleyball…to a point where burying my feet into the sand didn’t help. (In fact, it made it worse as the hot sand on top of my feet managed to burn the top of my feet too. So now, as I sit and write this out, both the bottoms of my feet and the tops are burnt and tender! HA.
Secondly - this becomes today’s moment for two reasons. First it reminds me of my childhood when I would play basketball in the driveway barefoot. I can’t even tell you the number of times I burnt the bottoms of my feet. It’s not for realizing they were burning, but being stubborn that I didn’t want to stop playing and put on shoes. Yes…some things never change.
The second reason is because for the last two hours at the beach I just sat back and watched the others. I enjoyed sitting under the umbrella, eating and drinking while watching the others play in their sand socks. (Mental note to self, pick up sand socks next week!) What a treat it was.
Moments of memories.
Moments of relaxation.
