This lovely basket of lemons (12) was given to me over the weekend by my neighbour. She is aware that I use lemons a lot for my daily detox routine. Thank you Miss Peaches! I had none for the upcoming week so you can imagine my joy upon receiving them.
Is there joy in getting lemons? That depends on how you look at it ^-^ .
We have heard the old adage - When life gives you lemons.... popular cliche, isn't it? It immediately conjures up negative feelings. Life throws you that curve ball sometimes;there is so much coming at you, such an influx that you have lemon pain.
You can however, choose to: -
1. Make lemonade (just take a proactive approach and deal with whatever situation comes at you). Things don't always goes as planned but you are going to have to learn to deal with things as they come along. It's called life goes on.
2. Throw them back (refuse to face or take on the challenges)
3. Pause, recharge and start over because it is sometimes a simple reminder that one is off course and that extra bit of motivation is needed.
4. Take no action!
However you choose to handle those lemons, is entirely up to you.
I, for one, have had a lot of lemons in a few areas of my life. They hit real hard too. And yes, I've taken all four actions stated above too, at one time or other. Yeah, I am not running from those lemons. I'm going to use them, market them like no one would imagine.
The next time life dishes me lemons, oh what the hell! I'm going to juice them, get me that glass, salt the rim, garnish with a slice of one of those very lemons, throw in a shot of tequila and triple sec and make my very own margarita (on the rocks) and sip, sip, sip! Yeah, I'm attacking them lemons head on!
Did I just hear Mary Poppins snap those fingers?
