Self-Portrait Tuesday

There I am outside with my new cute shoes on lounging back in a chair with my feet kicked up on the railing as if it were spring weather. Unfortunately this is what I'm really enjoying (all of which came down between 8am-11am). Yes, the mountains are beautiful, but the cold and shoveling all that snow...not so much. Why am I out here then, it's definitely a great place to hide when trying to get away from loud grumpy children.

I like this idea of "putting our best foot forward." Pushing aside those things that pull us down and doing what we know to make us a better person. Essentially our best foot will always benefit others. It's really something I would like to ponder more about. Thanks for the challenge Lelly and for making me think.

Cute shoes! And can I just say that even your self-portrait foot picture looks like something that you could proudly hang on a wall. Amazing.

Very cute shoes Amy. I am not a shoe person but I have seen some really cute shoes today. Now I want to go shopping.

What a good idea to always work to put our best out there, no matter what. Everyone's perspective is great and definitely adds to mine, thanks!

Yes very cute. Where did you find those? I like the idea of putting your best foot forward being an internal thing, pushing aside thoughts to bring us down so we just focus on the thoughts that make is act for good.

I was waiting to see what you would post, Amy! Very cool as always. And I want those shoes!

I got the shoes from American Eagle. I just couldn't resist.

I never would have chosen those shoes for you. They're cute, but not what I think of when I think of you (but then what do I know I only see you on game nights). I can't believe you guys got that much snow!

I LOVE those shoes on you. I think it has been fun to see all the different shoes people have put themselves in. I especially love that your feet are kicked up. So cute.

Great shoes! You might have gotten more snow but you'd never know by your portait. Those shoes have "Spring" written all over them. Here's to putting our best foot forward toward some sunshine!

Barb said...

O.K. my first reaction was also 'cute shoes' my second reaction is that I love the way you have your feet in focus and everything else truly in the background. I haven't figured out how to do that (maybe can't on a point and shoot?)

Love the shoes.

Thanks for the info on the preparedness. Definitely something out of 24 it seems, huh? Like you, I'm feeling very disturbed but somehow peaceful at the same time.
