Life is too short for clean shoes

My husband and I have lots of shoes.  These are just a few.

 These are our new running shoes.  So white and shiny.

If all goes well, in a year, they will look like this.

Let us not shy away from the slush, the mud puddles and the wet grass.  Let us not stay cooped up where it's dry and safe.  Let us seek the soil and the sunlight that let us grow.
