So true. Irritants in the shoes can get your whole attention.
Many, many moons ago I completed a 50-mile hike with my old scout troop in tennis shoes. I was the second "adult". (Home from college two days then off on a really long hike.)
The boots I wore the first day caused blisters the size of quarters. One popped mid-day the second day. My feet had my attention for the rest of the week.
AMEN! I deal with this every day with someone who constantly wants to argue. Unless it is of grave importance that I present or defend a position, I don't engage. It is the only way to keep sanity and happiness. ;)

Good one. :)
A dandy photograph and a great line from Robert Service. He's one of my faves.
Thanks for sharing.
Very true! And that ONE grain of sand can truly be a pain!
There is my workplace right there. Always loved Mr. Service. Thanks.
Discovered Robert W. Service not all that long ago (did I mention I'm not a really big fan of poetry? Ironic, actually...). Love his stuff!
While it might seem sage, the notions in my heart tell me no. Right or wrong, wise or no, I must tilt at the winds. Even the little ones.
Got THAT right...

I'm going to have to steal quote that for my fb page...
Dorothy Parker phrased it "It's not the tragedies that kill us but the messes."
She also said you can lead a horticulture but you can't make her think.
And "What fresh hell is this?"
Peace
