Fly (Five Minute Friday)

Sharing is caring!

The prompt for this week’s Five Minute Friday is fly. When I saw this I knew it was meant to be the kind of fly that you do in an airplane, but that is not what popped into my head when I saw that prompt.

My brain thought of the kind of FLY that FlyLady talks about.

Finally
Love
Yourself

This is something all of us could stand to learn. You know what I mean. You hear those negative voices in your head when you look in the mirror. You probably buy new clothes and shoes for everyone else in the family and think you don’t really need anything. We think of everyone else first before we think about what we need.

I have learned to do little things to take care of myself. One is to rub body butter into my feet every day before I put my socks and shoes on. I couldn’t believe it the first time my podiatrist told me I had beautiful, healthy feet. She gushes over them every time I go see her. I looked at her sideways the first time she said it and asked, “Are you looking at the same feet I am?” She said she was serious. She apparently has to look at a lot of really scaly and crusty feet every day. She told me to keep doing whatever I was doing because the skin looked very healthy and had good color. So this summer when you are wearing flip-flops or sandals make sure you are rubbing lotion or something into your feet, if not when you put your shoes on, then after you wash your feet or take your shower and just before you get into bed at night. You too can have beautiful feet. Take care of yourself. Replace the negative messages running through your head with positive ones. Be kind to yourself.
