Old, Comfy Shoes

You know those shoes that you just LOVE? They fit your feet so well that you will never give them up? No matter how much they fall apart, or how many friends you lose because of their stench - you will never throw them away.

You've tried new shoes, and they work for a while, but they can be stiff and cause blisters. You really just long for your old, comfy shoes. When you put them on, you are home. Happy and contented - your feet belong in those shoes.

New shoes can become old, comfy shoes. It just takes a while. There are some blisters, scuffs and dirt, but after a while they become old, comfy shoes. But not every shoe can be an old, comfy shoe - just the right ones given lots of time and wear.

Friends are like shoes. You have those who are nice, and you enjoy hanging out with, but they aren't old and comfy. Then there are those friends who just fit - the world could end, but if you were together you wouldn't notice because you are home when you are with them.

An old, comfy friend is coming home this weekend and I am so very excited!
