What sandals do you wear?

I have been getting brooks adrenaline size 7 women's shoes for 15 years but am trying to find sandals that fit similarly and still provide some support.

Any suggestions? Any brands with a similar fit?

20+ years post stroke and still grieving

People can't tell I had a stroke, but I feel the effects. I had to relearn how to eat, talk, and write, but somehow the muscle memory that stayed the most was dribbling and kicking a soccer ball. I can feel it but don't have the coordination to execute it, and it breaks my heart. When I think about it, I can feel a soccer ball on my right foot like a phantom limb.

It's been over 20 years, and I am still grieving. I still feel so disgusted by my body.

How do people learn to accept their bodies and limitations?

My stroke was from leukemia treatment. I was 13, and my oncologists made it sound like I had recovered from the stroke fully through physical therapy. They said any lingering clumsiness was a temporary side effect from another chemo drug and that I'd be able to play soccer and run once I was 6 months post chemo. For almost 3 years, that idea kept me going. Then, 6 months post chemo, I found out that the clumsiness was permanent and definitely from the stroke. I found out in 2006 and am still so angry and sad.

Murph's sweater in CCOD Episode 9 is so cool

I am honestly mildly distracted by its awesomeness. Men's clothing like that does not seem like an easy thing to find.

Books for 5-year-olds that address subtle excluding

I have 2 students who are BFFs and a 3rd who is often with them but who they sometimes exclude or complain about.

Any suggestions on books to help correct this behavior?

I often encourage Student 3 to play with other kids who include and appreciate her for the amazing and exceptionally kind person that she is, but I'd love to find some that would help the other 2 understand why and how to change said behaviors.
