Can I just say, I absolutely love my new Red Patten Dansko's. I bought 2 new pairs of Dansko clogs before I left the states because they are the most incredible fitting shoes for someone with my type of arch and they prevent me from getting reoccurring plantar fasciatis. I am typically on my feel alot during the day, whether I am actively walking or simply standing looking at charts and without proper shoes, my legs tire and the hamstring gets taut. I converted to Dansko's 2001 and have been a true believer in them ever since. But, this new pair, its more than a comfortable fit! It's an experience!
Deep cherry in color and patten, shiny leather and they make me smile every time I look down at my feet, and when I believe I am alone in the hall, I click my heels and say "Toto, we're not in Kansas anymore."
I was in new employee orientation most of the day today, and for the most part these types of presentations are unimpressive and boring, but today I had my shoes to occupy my mind. I started thinking about the Wizard of Oz, and The Tin Man in particular. His desire for a heart was so intense, he cried. Which led me to the thought that if he cried, wasn't that a sign he had a heart? When one shows or expresses no emotions or feelings we refer to that person as having no heart. He's heartless, we say, but the Tin Man did have feelings.
I looked under the table and quietly clicked my heels but this time I thought, "I'd better pay attention or Toto, we'll end up back in Kansas.

Remember that Dorothy clicked her heels when she wanted to RETURN home. Beware of random clickings -- no telling where you'll end up.
At the end, it was sweet when Tin Man said, "I know I have a heart because it's breaking."
Thank you! i WILL be aware of random clickings. I'm not ready to come home :-)
Maybe you are home. Look at all you have right in your own back yard.
