@1followernodad The trick is to go for the cutest sandal that the ergonomic old people brands carry. I have had these for several years (but an older non-padded version of the strap I guess) and find them easy to pack and super comfy

I’m learning that getting older means graduating from main character to supporting cast. From child, student, suitor to parent, teacher, spouse. You grow ever more deeply invested in other people’s successes, if you’re doing it right, and realizing what a privilege that is. You come to see and feel that the richer and deeper your own life becomes, the less you want to be the center of attention, the more you understand that the money spot of the human soul is in the cheering section, where the self is lost in love. I think this carries on forever, by the way.
Whining happening in the backseat
I reach back with a teething cracker in hand
Silence
A little hand reaches up, snatches
Silence
CRONCH
