When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.That is the proverbial phrase used to encourage optimism and a can-do attitude in the face of adversity or misfortune.
WELL. . .I beg to differ.
I enjoy lemonade as much as the next person. But as someone who is sitting smack dab in the middle of a pretty big pile of lemons, all I can think is, what in the world am I going to do with that much lemonade? I could have a really big picnic, but that wouldn't make a dent in this pile of lemons.
There has to be more possibilities. So I started thinking. . .and searching.
Here are a few more suggestions for all those lemons life can throw your way.
When life gives you lemons. . .
. . .grab Tequila & Salt
. . .throw them back and demand chocolate
. . .demand to speak to the manager {which for me would be God}
. . .make Lemon Meringue Pie, it tastes better
. . .call your best friend to see if they have Vodka
. . .learn to juggle
. . .save the seeds and plant an orchard
So, you see, even in the midst of adversity and/or misfortune, when life gives you all those lemons {and it will}, the possibilities are endless.
Cheers,
