She pushes through and no one has a clue, why she works so hard. Her feet are scarred from wearing heels. Behind her desk, she feels successes were achieved; kicking her heels off, relieved. Tired and sore she sits at home, not quite calling it quits. She rarely refuses, and chooses to slip into her running shoes. For the day is still not over; her children are looking over her shoulder. In spite of how she feels, aches, and ills, feelings don't pay her bills. She knew when and where to wear each pair. 8/2/2017

wow, Eve, I LOVE how you did this. You truly made it about just two pairs of shoes. I am glad not to be her. I prefer my laid back job and life style!!!
