An Exercise in Humility

Things were going just too well.

I’d had a fairly productive day in the office.  My new haircut was perky, with just the right attitude.  My most recent blog post had been picked up by the New Advent supersite, and I was watching the stats climb—hundreds of readers, over a thousand, still more….

So I needed a reality check.

I popped into Mass this evening, chatted with a few parishioners, then took my seat in the fourth row.  It wasn’t until I sat to listen to the homily that I saw this:

One black Italian leather pump, pointed toe, leather rose.  One grey strappy flat, round toe.

Oh, I am such a class act!
