Default My first wow moment...

I got home from my walk and plopped into my comfy chair... propped up my feet on the foot stool and looked at my sneakers. my shoe laces were tied neatly in a nice bow. The thing is the bow was tied in the center of the shoe and not on the inside of my foot. I've always noticed in the past that my laces always leaned toward the inside of my shoes because I could hardly reach the laces much less tie them in the center, Now I tie them in the center without even thinking about it. Sigh...
