Used faithfully: prevents foot blisters. |
Years ago, I finally listened to The Husband and bought some sports tape that I use on my heels and foot edges before "socking" and "shoeing". It's a miracle! No more blisters.
Of course The Husband suggested the tape for a long time before I actually acquiesced. That old stubborn thing I've got going.
Have been thinking about that a bit. How reluctant I was to try a simple little preventive care to avoid pain and suffering. Yep... a lot like obedience. Or consideration of others. Or good manners. Or disciplining my tongue. Lots of ways that a small measure of preventive care can avoid pain and suffering.
Went to re-supply my foot tape. They were out of the brand I usually buy. Bought the store brand. Big mistake. Didn't work. Wasn't the right kind of adhesive. Don't like it.
Yet another thought there: substituting my own desires/guidelines/parameters won't give quite the same results as following the ones set forth by the Almighty. Usually ends up being problematic.
I rarely put on a pair of shoes without my tape. Too bad I can't govern my behavior as easily.
Today's gratitude: The Husband has returned. I will sleep well tonight.
