When Life throws you lemons …

Old sayings are great, aren’t they?

I’ve always loved this one … “When life throws you lemons … make lemonade!!”

It reminds me that even in the sourest of moments, life can create a little sweetness, that we are never given more than we can handle, even though it may not seem that way at the time, and indeed some of it may seem most unpalatable.

Your inner-resilience is quiet but steadfast, and it won’t let you down. There are times when it may seem impossible to find even the smallest glimpses of positivity, but they are there … you just need to look a little harder.

“We are never given more than we can handle, even though it may not seem that way at the time”

They will become illuminated to you. And they are often different to what you may expect, or ordinarily appreciate …
The sun breaking through the clouds, the flowers by the roadside … Children’s laughter, your dog’s expression.

Simple things that say and do so much to remind us that all is not lost, and that even the darkest of clouds are in time, surrounded by that wonderful silver lining.

And after all, who doesn’t enjoy a refreshing glass of lemonade?

So Cheers!!

Here’s to life and all it throws at us!!
