The way it is

The way it is
Never owning new products
Make do and mend, hand me downs, fixer upper
That's just the way it is
Bargain buys and buy one get one frees
Charity shop finds, a must
Family bailout, inevitable
In my world that's the way it is
Scrimp and scrape by
Survive on next to nothing
We all try, we all try so hard
But it's getting worse
And they say that's just the way it is

Know what you're talking about! We did the same growing up, and nothing was thrown away! But we called it re-using, and it was an art form as well as a lifestyle.
Souls and spirits can be recycled as well…refashioned from sweet left overs, empowered to continue on..
thank you for reminding me to be proud of my notorious second hand shopping, make-do, re-use habits. They carry many people through and keep a lot of kids in school clothes!

| I can relate but you are absolutely right, it's just the way life is. But we are still grateful and there's beauty in that. :) thank you for posting. |
