  So my sister just read this and thought that “bright shiny purple” meant bruised toes!

  So…. does this make more sense?

  preparing toenails
  for yoga class once again -
  bright shiny purple

  But I kind of liked “my” being in there. Oh, damned syllable counts! Not really… We are getting ready to go modern haiku very soon….

  My first reaction when I read this was that your toes were brusied. But then I thought, that doesn’t make sense and I knew you were painting the nails. I was always worried about my toenails in yoga class. All those toe touches and there you are face to face with them thinking, they need a trim, they are crooked, they are gross, they need paint…..

  Oh, I’m glad you got it, Gillena! Ah, I think a streak of vanity is a good thing! I find I am happier when I give myself time to get gussied up, even if it’s just purple toe nails : )

  I tend to subscribe to the “no pain no gain” theory of working out. In my mind suffering leads to progress. I guess that’s why my brain immediately equated purple with bruising. Perhaps I should paint my toenails more often!
