Happy Feet!

If you can remember back to when your first born child came along, everything was about "the firsts" - first smile, first laugh, first steps.....  But if you're living life and loving it, you can still have "firsts" -- even after 50! 

Today was my first pedicure.... not sure what I've been waiting for!  My friend Helen and I decided a few days ago to spoil ourselves a little bit for our lunch hour today.

I settled myself in the oversized chair and sat back, and slid my feet into the warm bubbly water.  From that moment I knew I'd be hooked -- it felt heavenly!  All the other preps - clipping toenails and such - were necessities.  My soles were scrubbed, and yes some of it tickled!  My calves were massaged, sugared and some kind of minty cream applied, then covered in plastic, then surrounded by warm wet towels.  Ohhh boy, talk about wonderfulness!  But then he draped a hot moist towel over my toes, and massaged each toe.  For me THAT was heaven.  He could have done that for an hour or more!!  Lotion massaged into my skin from knee to the tips of my toes, then painted a classic bright red.  I could really get used to this!  And foresee a few more pedicures in my future!!

If you're thinking ahead to Christmas, a pedicure is a Wonderful gift!
