Reaching Others Through Kindness

When I was young, my parents had a peninsula on their counter that had three counter stools that? stood in front of it.? Many of the days when we were home my mom would feed us lunch at these stools?and I still have fond memories of Flintstone vitamins and chicken noodle soup.

Those stools allowed us to watch my mom make lunch, and? brought us eye-level with her as we talked about what was going on that day.

Of course, some of my siblings don?t have such fond memories of their experience with a bar stool.? One of my brothers ended up tipping backwards and getting hurt?but that?s another story.

I grew up in a home with two bathrooms.? There was ?dad?s? bathroom and there was everyone else?s bathroom.? And there was only one tub.? Of course, dad?s bathroom was rarely just his, it just had that name, but I digress.

In both places that I?ve lived since I?ve been married we?ve had only one bathroom?and it is an exercise in kindness for five people to share one bathroom.? Kindness in taking turns, in not flushing the toilet when someone?s in the shower, etc.

In the new house that we?ve put an offer on, there are two bathrooms?and this dad might get to share a bathroom with his wife!

What kind of bathroom situation do you find yourself in?
