Several years back I went on a mission to find a simple, cute pair of flats to wear because I needed an alternative to wearing those adorable heels nearly everyone else wears. Honestly, I love the way a pair of heels look but I am not willing to sacrifice my comfort to wear them, the exception being very special occasions.
Well, I decided right away that just because I'm not wearing heels doesn't mean my shoes can't stand out. Oh, and stand out they did!
The second I saw those sunshine yellow flats, I knew my mission was complete. I bought them and brought them home with all the excitement of a child. They made me happy. They lifted my mood. When I wore them, all throughout the day I would peek down at my feet and smile. Soon, my friends and co-workers started calling them my happy shoes and that they were. My happy, yellow shoes.
I'm sad to say that those shoes disappeared somewhere along the way and I miss them but I have other 'happy shoes' now. Many, really. The joy of living under God's grace, my children, laughing with my best friend Cheri, a cup of coffee, my windows filled with warm sunshine, a good book. They all make me feel the way those shoes did.
Thus the phrase became the title of my blog because I hope I can share some of those happy shoe moments with you. After all, what's the fun of happiness if it can't be shared?
I love this picture of you. So glad you added the pic of the shoes! Keep posting, I'm loving it!
