When Life Gives You Lemons
Make lemonade.
Or as someone once said…throw those lemons back at life and tell it to make its own. darn. lemonade.
Smile reader – sometimes life hands us things we don’t know how to handle. Sometimes we’ll cry, sometimes we’ll laugh, and if you’re anything like you me, you might even do both…at the same time.
Tomorrow is a new day and things will get better.
And in the meantime, there’ll be no judgement from me if you decide to dive into a pint of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream while watching your favorite romantic comedy. You might even find me doing the same. 😉
