Crosswalk

I made the mistake of wearing heels for 12 hours straight yesterday, and my legs are so tired today! As I started my trek to the train station, I was complaining in my head about the cold, the questionable characters, the smells, my tired legs, and just wishing I was home already.

In the space of a crosswalk, I passed an older woman running across the street to catch her transfer, a woman with no legs in an electric wheelchair, a young woman pushing her way across the crosswalk in a wheelchair, and a young mother holding a baby in one arm, holding the hand of a young toddler, and then calling after her young son to stay with her.

Boy, did I learn my lesson.
