When Life Gives you Lemons...

Be extra careful not to get lemon juice in your eyes.

Lemon Juice is overrated. Does anyone else get dehydrated from lemonade? If Life gave me lemons and I made lemonade, I'd dry up and end up like a dry sponge.

I don't want life to give me lemons....I'd rather an apple or something.

I think this is kind of a weird post, but it so true.

It's different and a good source of vitamin C

Yes, lemonade makes me more thirsty and makes the roof of my mouth sore.....................weird.

However, ice tea and lemonade is just fine by me.

Making lemonaide out of lemons doesnt mean you have to drink it. It means taking the firmness of the lemon and making it palpable or easier to work with. We can water it down, sugar it up, or throw it away. If we really wanted to, we could pass it to someone else. Heh?

Speaking of fruit....just a reminder that bananas can provide a very calming influence.
My family members eat a banana, instead of taking a benzo, like me. Oh dear, now I want one....brb! A banana, not a benzo :-)

Holy cow............I was trying to be brief for pete sakes.

I was using the analogy of lemons and our life. We can hand on to the lemon whole which makes it difficult, or squeeze out the juice (take away its power) making life easier, more manageable, K?

I like lemonaide, but I always need to follow it with a glass of water... usually I'll just take the water... although, there have been times when life has handed me lemons and I just threw them at people (what a way to vent!) :D

    I find myself going places in the car and not wanting to get out of the car. I come back home and I don't want to get out of the car. I think it's the only time I spend reflecting. Chronic tiredness from Long Covid plus the immunosupressing meds for my Crohn's is slowing me down but everything just seems a massive effort. I am dealing with the paperwork following my father's death but it's not...
