life's lemonade

you don't always have to make "lemonade" with the "lemons" that life throws you.
I read a very interesting part of a book today that simply stated. "you don't always have to catch the ball" Metaphorically speaking, they are saying -you don't always have to let people's harshness (words-actions-etc.) get under your skin. So I say: "when life throws you lemons, you don't have to catch them." granted there is fine print in this blurp of advice, I'm not saying that it is OK to just ignore people unsympathetically or disregard responsibilities. but let's face it people, we all know of at least 5 people who let to much unessary worry penetrate their skin and bubble up into what is similar to a life eating disease.
trust me-
I just recently rebouded from this disease, but it was a eye opener to me. I don't like Lemons, they burn. however sometimes you have to make the "ade" the ade is so much sweeter and easier to enjoy. I will catch them if need be and if my friends/ family ask me to help make some lemoande you bet you're bottom i'll be there with some sugar ;)

A good recipie for Lemonade :

• Pitcher (a solid frame of mind to contain the emotions.) If your ingredients are not contained, they spill and make a huge mess.
• Lemons ( harsh words-actions-etc.)- the unbearably tart fruit that makes your eyes squint, cheeks pucker and head shake.
• Water ( friends-family-quite time-etc.)- to dilute the tart, makes the taste more bearable.
  
• Sugar (friends-family-i personally like shopping) to compensate for the tart. this is the positive twist that every negative dilemma should have.
• Ice (positive outlook for future eandevors) helps to keep you cool and refreshed.
  
  
  Chris just made fun of me for writing this. He said "are you copying this from somewhere or making it up?" I said "making it up" he replied with "dork"
  -thanks for the Lemon Chris!
