Lemonade out of Lemons

We’ve all heard “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.”

We’re told to look for the silver lining or to find ways to turn a difficult situation into something positive.

Overall, I agree with that perspective. BUT… while it’s encouraging in theory, it’s not always easy to do in practice.

So, here are my reflections.

Connect — Remember, that you’re not alone. Plenty of other people have had their fair share of lemons chucked at them too (duck!). Reaching out to people who understand what you’re going through can provide invaluable support.

Celebrate — Celebrate your accomplishments! Especially the “small” wins. When life gives you lemons, throw a party.

Think outside the box — Sometimes looking at a situation from a different perspective can help you come up with creative solutions. Don’t limit yourself. It’s not just lemonade! It’s lemon meringue, limoncello, lemon cake, lemon bars, lemon chicken, lemon-ginger, lemon-mint, lemon-blueberry, lemon-raspberry, lemon-lavender, etc.

Gratitude — Try not to get caught up in the sourness of the lemons & what hasn’t gone well, Instead, reflect on what you’re grateful for. Lemons grow in sunshine.

Enjoy those lemons & keep making lemonade 🍋

Warmly,

Shannon
