~Here I stand, although usually these feet of mine are not still. Back and forth, inside and outside travelling many miles each day, from morning baking in the kitchen to wiping the table after each meal and snack, running to the bathroom to help with potty training to dancing to classical music with my children. They travel over these worn wooden floors in our rustic cottage.~
I just finished painting my toenails for the first time in AGES....I didnt realize how worn and tired my feet looked....anything but soft and supple. Like yours, they are working feet...moving, dancing, fluttering in the water....
ReplyDeleteI'm really enjoying this series and seeing the shots people are choosing. You look like a farm wife for sure. :)
ReplyDeletePS. I have a giveaway on my book blog right now: http://www.thebookchildren.com/2010/07/spreadin-bobbsey-love-through-giveaway.html
I appreciate reading your sentiments as a mother Tonya, I am enjoying taking these moments in.
ReplyDeleteWhat cute feet!! Your feet look like the feet of a busy wife and mother and in my book I would be proud of those feet, Most ladies cannot even began to understand the simple life and hard work, To keep life the way you desire. GOd Bless You Tonya, Do take time to rest your feet! Much Love to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteLove this Tonya....you are so right, a mother's feet are never still. We just returned from vacation so I'm catching up and glad to see you're doing well. Have a great week dancing through your days.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful picture about a simple and complicated part of our bodies. Your post tells so much about your day. I completely relate. I don't often think about what I have done during the day and how my feet carry me. Thanks Tonya for the beautiful reminder!
ReplyDeletei think we should all look down more than we do :)
ReplyDeleteHow right you are - a mama's feet are busy feet! You've captured the breadth of a mother's activity, from the mundane to the joyful.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo and description. I often wonder how far I travel in a day...
ReplyDeleteYes and yes and yes.
ReplyDeleteThis photo should be framed. I love it - and I love the words that go with it.
Namaste, Nicole
Beautiful, Tonya- everything!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea.
Beautiful words Tonya:)
ReplyDeleteI am a barefoot mama too...that or my birks. In these busy days, isn't it lovely to just take a moment and pause to remember what we're all about?
ReplyDeleteI love your blog and this is the first time I've commented here. Thanks for the inspiration -- you strike me as much more real and unpretentious than many other blogs I see out there. I love that!
