Barefoot living..

"To me, 'living barefoot' would be a confident state of mind

in knowing that I'm taking advantage of every day and

appreciating all that I have.

It would be noticing the small beauty, humor,

or irony in things as we go about our day.

So many people get caught up in the day-to-day life

that they often don't actually stop to look around and admire it.

For me, this would also include doing things that I love.

Whether it is within the work day or not,

I like to participate in things that I believe in,

are part of a creative process, and enjoy learning more about.

To truly live a life that is fulfilling and rewarding,

I think that you must examine what makes you happy and do it.

This is a simple concept, yet few actually put themselves

above other priorities in their lives, to make this happen."
