The other day was one of my favorite days of the year. No it wasn’t my birthday, that’s in the summer. It was also obviously not Opening Day for baseball.
The other day was new socks day!
There’s nothing better than putting on some new socks! Just sliding your foot into those brand new, never worn before, soft as a kitten socks!
I’m probably your typical guy now that I work from home: jeans and sneakers most of the time. And with those sneakers come the athletic socks: either Nike, Adidas or Champion, whatever you like. Ankle socks in the summer and crew socks in the fall and winter. Black or white depending on which sneaker is the choice of the day. After awhile though they wear out or get lost in the laundry so…ta-da! New sock day! They sell them in six packs. It just feels so good to slide them on and then put the sneakers on. It’s like little pillows for your feet.
Don’t even get me started on new sneaker day. That’s just amazing!
I’m sure you can relate in some way. It’s like sliding into bed with new, fresh sheets!
Putting on a brand new suit that has been tailored to fit just you!
Wrapping yourself in your fuzzy blanket to watch a movie while it’s snowing out.
You’re right. It doesn’t take much to amuse me.
I no longer hope for the Cadillacs or Ferraris. Just give me some new socks and a fuzzy blanket. I still dream about a Ferrari but with my back I probably couldn’t even get in the thing never mind getting out.
Yeah just give me the little things. Oh I haven’t even mentioned new underwear day.
