When life gives you lemons

They say "when life gives you lemons made lemonade." Whoever this "they" is obviously doesn't live in our world. Today we each need to set our own course and own it. So when life gives you lemons find a solution that works for you.

I personally have been dealing with truck loads of lemons over the last few months. So much so I'm running out of patience to deal with them. One major source of the lemons has become a horrible subject in my life. I'm angry at the situation and worried for the individual involved. They won't talk to me about it so I've decided to let it go. Sometimes we just need to stop accepting the lemons regardless of how close personally the source is.

After years and a horrible last six months, I have taken a hold of my life. I'm tired of always expending energy to keep things normal for others at the expense of my own normalcy. As I head into the New Year, I'm destroying any lemons in my path. I don't need them. For once I get to be selfish. If you have a problem with it, here's a basket of lemons and there's the door; get out.
