I have been on vacation the
past two weeks. During our road trip, my wife and I golfed, did sightseeing,
shopping, and the usual vacation stuff.
I was appalled by the number
of people who wore flip-flops and sandals – with feet that looked like they
belonged in the garbage. Their feet were caked in dirt and grime. Their toes
usually showed untrimmed toenails, and sometimes cases of toenail fungus. Most
often their flip-flops were worn and past their shelf life. In reality, I found
flip-flop wearers had the worst feet of the bunch.
It was painful. Maybe I just
notice feet more than the average person. I have nothing against flip-flops or
sandals, but I dislike dirty feet.
It reminded me of the April
post I wrote titled, "Embarrassed by Your Feet” It said that. “… many [people] are embarrassed by the appearance of their
dry heels or discolored toenails, causing them to avoid activities such as …
the cooling freedom of wearing sandals or flip-flops."
I would like to
think most of us shower or bathe daily. If so, many are not washing their feet.
The dirt gets caked on and is hard to remove. Take a few minutes and wash your
feet, using a scrub brush if necessary. Then spend a minute and clean and trim
your toenails. Really, it’s easy. Your feet will be happier.
