That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where shoes stopped feeling new.

Would love to hear how other people handle this. I am especially curious about the version that works on a tired weekday, not just on an ideal Sunday.

This is adorable and oddly motivating. This is more useful on a tired quiet Sunday than on a perfect day.
