Sockless

Breaking news. This is huge, this is epic, this is momentous: Welcome to the first day of the year where I do not have to wear socks.

No, I didn't run out of clean laundry, and no, my feet smell delightful. It's just so awesome being able to go outside in flats without socks, and not. feel. cold. The sensation is so liberating.

I know, I know. It's going to get cold again, but why should the fear of enjoying the moment now somehow jinxing the moment in the future stop me from enjoying the moment now? If we all did that, no one would be at peace, no one would be content, no one would be satisfied, and in constantly expecting the worse, and denying ourselves the pleasure of today, we conjure it up and  give it power, we make the worst come to life.

So, for the good we have today, rejoice in it, and offer up your thanks and gratitude, for these are the thoughts which strengthen the worth of us maintaining the good.
