They should be spaced slightly apart, but not so far as to suggest that they come from different feet. Follow the images on the right for guidance. These will form the body of the foot. Add five ovals at the end of each oval for the toes. Remember, though: this time the footprint has to look like it is reflected on a mirror. Simply continue to repeat the steps you've already done, and hopefully your footprints will improve. Use blue or purple to make it look like someone stepped on ink by accident, or color the background like sand and have the footprints in shadow to give the impression of a beach scene.

Summary: Draw the first footprint using two ovals. Connect the sides of the ovals with curves. Repeat the process. Draw a few more to make the drawing look more realistic. Color in your footprints.


As you're kicking up, your body will rock forward if you arch your back. Keep your chin and head lifted so your face doesn't hit the ground. Most of your body weight should be on your chest when you're finished the upward kick if you've rocked forward correctly. Keep your hands on the ground for the first time. The next time you start the move, your hands will be in the air a bit because you pushed your upper body up off the ground. This part requires doing a couple things at once. When your legs are as high as you can get them and most of your weight is around your chest and hands, kick your legs straight as hard as you can. Kicking your legs straight will help move body weight back toward your feet while you push your upper body up with your arms. This step requires quite a lot of effort and strength. Push all your upper body weight up and off the ground as your legs start to fall. When you're starting out, this may the part to adjust first if you're unsure that you're doing the move correctly. To gain more upper body strength and help you push your weight up with your arms, consider doing push-ups every day to build your strength. As soon as your legs are straight, bend in at your waist as if you're doing an upside-down sit-up to help lift your butt in the air. Keep your legs straight so your toes can hit the ground first. At this point most of your body should be up in the air, with your hands and toes closest to the ground. Let your toes fall to the ground first, then prepare to allow the rest of your body to fall starting with your toes and then your knees. Straighten your body as your toes hit the ground and then arch your back as your body falls toward the ground. Rock forward so that your body hits the ground in this order: toes, knees, hips, stomach, chest, hands.  Kick your legs up and back behind you like you did the first time and keep your back arched to help you rock forward. Repeat the move as many times as you like. The more times you do it in a row, the easier it will become and the more you'll look like an actual worm inching forward. Don't think too much once you have the combinations down. Just try to get your body to flow through the steps and keep practicing.

Summary: Arch your back and rock forward on your stomach. Kick your legs straight. Push up with your hands as you kick your legs straight. Lift your butt after you kick your legs straight. Land back on your toes. Start the move again by rocking forward as you kick your legs up.


If it’s getting to the point where you aren’t able to have a discussion about politics without a huge fight taking place, it’s time to take a break from the topic. Agree to take time off from discussing politics at all. Together, decide on an appropriate time for the break. Perhaps after the break, you can begin to start discussing politics again.   To approach the subject you could say, “I think we need to stop talking politics for a little while. It seems like we fight more now because of the subject, and I love you too much to let this affect our relationship.” Voicing that your concern about the relationship is the driving force behind this decision will show your partner you care about the quality of the relationship and want to make it work. Your spouse may think they stand with a certain political party, but they may also still be working out their beliefs. Being supportive and withholding from judgment or criticism can help them to develop their political values and opinions.  Part of being in a relationship is helping the other person become the best they can be. Let them know that you are there for them and leave your personal opinions out of the equation, unless they are asked for. For instance, you could tell your partner, “Although we have a difference of opinion, I respect that you are working to develop your own political beliefs. I will be here to support and help you in any way that I can.” Letting them know that you want them to grow and become well-informed and strong in their convictions will show that you are able to put politics aside and focus on the bigger picture. If you and your partner differ politically, they likely aren’t going to want to hear what you have to say about other people whose views you oppose. Not only will your partner probably think you are negatively speaking about their own views, but they may take offense that you don’t seem to respect differences of opinion.  Instead, simply don’t comment on other people’s political views, especially if you know it is a hot topic for your partner. You can also ask your partner to respect your loved ones as well, by not criticizing their political views. Showing this type of mutual respect can help your relationship become stronger. When the dust settles, your relationship will likely not be affected by anything a politician does. Chances are, you and your partner will go about your everyday lives and still enjoy spending time with each other. You probably won’t even talk about politics again until another election occurs. Remember this when the next heated discussion occurs.

Summary: Avoid talking about it. Support your spouse as they work out their beliefs. Refrain from talking negatively about the political views of others. Look towards the future.


If you did not require emergency medical treatment, make an appointment with your doctor as soon as possible. The doctor will do a physical examination of the burn. They will decide if it is a first, second, or third degree. In some severe cases, they may refer you to a burn specialist.  First degree burns are very minor and can be treated at home. These may be pink or red in color. They may be a little painful at first, but this will go away after a few days. Second-degree burns may be a splotchy red or white tone. They may be blistered. Second-degree burns smaller than 3 inches (7.6 cm) are usually treated in the same way as first-degree burns while larger second burns are considered to be more serious. Your doctor will likely recommend an antibacterial ointment and a painkiller. Third-degree burns are the most severe. They may start out as gray or white but turn brown or black. They may be painful or they may feel numb. There is a good chance you will need surgery. Tell your doctor how you received the burn and how the burn has changed since the injury happened. In particular, be sure to tell your doctor if:  The pain has gotten worse since you were burned. The burn has changed colors. You have had any pus or blisters forming. You have had a fever since the burn. It is difficult for you to move parts of your face. Burns are very susceptible to tetanus infection. If you have had a tetanus shot in the last 5 years, you may be safe. If you have not, tell your doctor so that you can get a booster. This ointment can help prevent your burn from becoming infected. Your doctor may prescribe an ointment containing chlorhexidine, silver nitrate, silver sulfadiazine, bacitracin or mafenide. Follow your doctor’s instructions to learn how much and how often you need to apply the cream.  If the burn is minor, your doctor may recommend an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment, such as Neosporin. Your doctor may also prescribe you an oral antibiotic.
Summary: Visit your doctor to assess the level of burn. Report any symptoms you’ve experienced since your burn. Get a tetanus shot if you have not had a booster in 5 years. Get a prescription for an antibiotic ointment.
