A German monk whose name escapes me, I have in a book, was a doctor of some sort, IIRC late 19th century. He treated a lot of patients. One of his recommendations was walking barefoot on wet grass in the morning. I spent my entire childhood barefoot as soon as it was warm enough, I lived in the countryside. I go barefoot in the house. My feet are not crippled by shoes like many peoples’.
That brings up not wearing outside shoes in the house - stops filth on the floors. Carpets, another topic...
I gotta go but will be back Thursday.
LJ, looks like the thread is up and running! Thanks for starting it.
We have wood floors that must be swept at minimum daily or it creeps me. We never wear outdoor shoes inside. And if what I sweep up accumulated in carpet...well yuck.
