Things take time. Time to fit. Time to find. The thing you are excited about, when will you stop? Why indeed? When excitement settles into something good, when time takes away all the wrappings, will you still recognize it? Will you respect the good thing? What’s better the gift or the wrapper?
New shoes take time to break in. Break. The new goes away and it becomes yours in way that no other shoes can be. Maybe you like the pain of new shoes. Maybe you like the wrapper better. I appreciate those who stuck it out. I’m forever grateful for their time and attention.
