I was at my sons house this weekend which happens to be my childhood home, and as I wandered into the back yard I was startled to see this old tin tub….I couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t take my eyes off of it…..that old tub used to sit in our kitchen in the late sixties & seventies. We didn’t have a washer and my mom would wash clothes in it….but it had another use that I’m not quite sure why…..
I remember bathing in that tub! Obviously it was when I was small but it just blows my mind to remember that……
We had a bathtub…… But I don’t remember ever using it….
Yes humble beginnings…
For years and years I based those humble beginnings on my self worth… Still do sometimes..
Small town mentality does that to you at times…
It takes a lot of deep searching, a lot of misjudgment, painful experiences.. To come to realize that your past doesn’t define your future…
And your present circumstances never have to be your future.
I truly believe I was meant to have the parents I had, I think I was brought to help THEM….not trying to be conceited….. just stating facts….
And in the process it molded me into being determined to not just survive….
But to thrive…

Me too! Saturday Nights in the kitchen. The youngest went first! hahahha <Me too!
