When asked, “Where will your shoes take you?” I considered all the places that I wanted to see and the
things that I wanted to do, and honestly, I don’t know where my shoes will take me. However, I can tell
you where I want my shoes to take me. I want my hiking boots to take me to the top of the Rocky
Mountains, my running shoes to take me to the ocean’s edge and back, and my boat shoes to sail me to
the most beautiful coral reefs. I dream that my golf shoes will take me to play on historic Royal Liverpool
in England and that my rain boots will take me to the best land for puddle-jumping. Perhaps my sandals
will take me to the beaches of Costa Rica or my ski boots will take me to the mountains in Aspen. I’d
love for my bowling shoes to help me bowl a perfect 300 and for my waders to take me fishing in the
waters of Great Falls, Montana. I know that my stilettos will take me on beautiful and exciting journeys
and that my steel-toe boots will give me rewarding adventures. I ponder all the places that my shoes can
take me and I can’t help but feel excitement with my life to come. Where ever my shoes take me, I will
have fun, cherish the moments, and love the life that I am living.
