When Life Gives You Lemons… Make Really Good Lemonade

🍋 When Life Gives You Lemons… Make Really Good Lemonade

I’ve been thinking a lot about what it really means to “make lemonade from lemons.” You know — when life gives you something sour, you can still turn it into something sweet.

Recently, I had an experience where I felt left out. It didn’t feel good, and for a moment, I was really sad. But my mom helped me see that sometimes things like that just happen — we all have times in life when we feel left out, and that’s completely normal. Most of the time, it isn’t even intentional.

My Gigi always says to me, “You can choose to be bitter or you can choose to be better.” So now, I take that moment, feel my feelings, and then aim for the choice to  move forward — to choose joy and do something fun in place, avoid dwelling. It's a work in progress, but a goal!

So today, I’m embracing in life we might get some lemons.  But I’m not letting that ruin my day. I’m choosing to make my own kind of fun — maybe with my mom or a friend. Because when I do that, it’s really a win-win. And honestly, that’s how I can make the sweetest lemonade of all. 🍋💛
