THE POWER OF LEMONADE COMES FROM LEMONS

The lessons in life are more often than not disguised as other things whether they be good or bad which of course remains subjective. Life is a very personal and exclusive experience for everyone and will continue to be. People and their experiences may be similar but never duplicated. So what do we do when life lemons are out and about?

THE LESSONS AND LEMONS COME TO ALL

It would be nice and considered a perfect world where people could be approached and given feedback and input and that being sufficient modify or change their behaviors for the good of all. However, that is not the case and even more so a very selective process too. After all, we are all in different places at different times learning differently if at all

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING

What is so hard with asking questions and then listening to the answers and or implementing solutions on things that don't sit well? There is no perfect parent, child, home or life journey. To me, this should prompt dialogue, inquiry and a sort of exploration as to what is going on and why and more importantly...the part we play in it all..

ANTI-VALENTINE

When I am surrounded by lemons, life's little anti-Valentine's so to speak, it causes me to become more aware and to draw deeply from within my inner parts. It is there that I summon forth the tools via my gifts and talents that more often than not are perfectly suited to either slay the invading dragons and or squeeze some fresh lemonade too

STAND YOUR GROUND...let the problem leave

The art of standing your ground so that the solutions can rise out from within you and go to work has to be encouraged and more importantly believed in. Learning to make lemonade instead of eating sour lemons is something anyone can do. Failure to take lemons and convert them to your purposes can cause people to become....well a sour puss..Yes?

Richie - Although we can make lemonade with the occasional lemons we receive, we can also use the lemon "oil" to polish the rough edges of our lives. Hope the New Year brings good health and prosperity.

Thank you for sharing the post with all of us. I have leared over the year that many squeeze lemmons, thinking that they will get orange juice or something else. Unfortunately, they continue making the same mistake over and over.

Let's make 2013 the best year ever!

THE BOYS SPEAK

Hello John...pass that lemon oil and when I am oiled up, I will pass it back...Yes to your comment. John, the fondest thoughts of everything good and decent to you my friend constantly....

Hello Joe...very on target comment and I have done the maneuver myself until I figured it out. It is like a mild form of insanity when you do over the same things expecting a different result each time. Joe, 2013 is ours to do as we wish...Yes and thank U
