You know the saying: “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.”
It’s a great saying with a lot of truth and pizazz to staying positive, but there are times I want to pitch it (usually in someone’s face!)
To be honest, this week is one of those times. I feel like I’ve got gallons of the citrus stuff but no one interested in sampling or buying. By the way, I’m not just talking about my books.
Yes, my cynical nature is particularly tart today, and being exhausted isn’t helping me either.
And like you, I have choices. I can continue to squeeze out lemonade or I can take a bath in it and really get bitter (something my family LOVES!)
So I’ll press on… I’ll acknowledge my dire attitude, do my best to adjust and realign, and start to count the many blessing I do have. Let’s call this honest hope.
It’s also times like these I’m thankful I’m married to a very positive person who takes my “Eeyoreisms” with much grace…and glasses of lemonade.
