Red Cowboy Boots

I had a dream the other night. Most of it faded as I woke up but I remember the last bit quite distinctly. My mother, father, and I were walking in a city somewhere. My mother was dressed in a red western shirt, jeans, and red cowboy boots. My father was wearing jean shorts, a t-shirt, and running shoes.

At some point the cowboy boots begin to hurt my mom’s feet, so my dad trades shoes with her. I remember seeing him in his aforementioned attire with the bright red cowboy boots on his feet. He is grinning not a care in the world what anyone thinks. My mom and I both smile back at him secretly wishing we could be more like that.

I sent my mother a text recounting my dream and she agreed that it sounded just like my dad. This post is dedicated to the hope that we can all learn to be a little more like my dad and wear our Red Cowboy boots not caring what other people think.

Who am I? I am a good girl and a wild child all rolled into one. I am a little bit of everyone whose life has touched mine. I have held and hold many roles and titles. I am educated by both life and by halls of advanced education. I am a dreamer of far-flung dreams and a practical person with a firm grasp on reality. I am a human with an abundance of love, curiosity, and hunger.  Above all else I am a helper of my fellow humans who hopes when she leaves this world it is a little better for her having been in it.
