My toes had been nagging me for weeks. They were tired of bulky socks, winter boots and stuffy shoes. They were exhausted from running errands, rushing to meetings and running through constant rain. They demanded a vacation. What could I do?

I took them to Palm Springs. They felt liberated to relax in the hot desert sun. They enjoyed a cool dip in the refreshing pool and they walked naked (yes, naked!) whenever possible. It was an awesome few days to unwind, relax and refresh.

My toes and I are back in Portland. They came back with much improved attitudes and a better perspective on life. Why it’s like walking on air!
