Good morning, Sue (@sueinmn)

First of all, thank you for your kind words! You've brightened my morning!

My problem with those "least of things" that lie in wait to trip me up are my duck-toed feet, or splayed feet, the result not so much of my neuropathy than a lifetime of having severely flat feet. I wear medical-grade orthotics; once a long-distance runner, I've been wearing top-notch orthotics since the mid-'80s. The orthotics do wonders for my ankles, knees, and hips, but nothing for those sneaky little duck-toed feet that, if I'm not paying attention, sure as anything will snag on the most inconsequential of projections, projections (like the corner of a carton set on the floor) that other people would kick ever-so-slightly and go right on about their day. I try my darnedest to be careful. In fact, I've a walk-about mantra: "Eyes up! (to lessen writer's hump) Heels first! (don't slide your feet) Stride out! (with caution) and Toes in! (to correct for those duck-toed feet). I try. And I try. Sometimes it works. Sometimes the result is a mildly embarrassing Opps!

Have a wonderful day, Sue!
