The Monthly Challenge

For day two, I'm supposed to shine my shoes.

So your task today is to shine your shoes. Get out every pair of dress shoes that you own and get them all into ship shape condition. You never know when you’re going to need to don a pair, and the last thing you want to do is be ready to run at the door to an important meeting and realize that your shoes are in no condition to meet the public. Having a closet full of shined shoes ensures that you are ready for any occasion, at the drop of a hat. Plus, shining your shoes is the kind of quiet, repetitive activity that will calm your mind and soothe your stress.

Belive it or not, I don't own any shoe polish. I was going to pick some up after work today, but I realized that the only pair of leather dress shoes that I own (and occasionally wear) is a weird deep brown color. Now I think I did shine my shoes once or twice as a kid (they were probably Air Jordan's) and as I recall, the shoe polish needs to match the shoe. Well, I didn't have the shoes with me, so I never bought any polish. So, before I head out for the night, I've given all of my shoes a nice once over with a wet rag, and I must say that it did get rid of most of the dust.
