Lemons

That old saying goes, "When life hands you lemons, make lemonade."

I don't like lemonade, actually.

So I'm going to slice that lemon up into real fine slivers, and drop them into a glass of iced tea, slightly sweetened.

That's how I do what's best for me, not what is expected.

Dealing with some lemons of life right now, but everything's going to turn out alright.

    I'd do the same, Janna. I share your feelings about lemonade vs. iced tea with lemon.

    And about being yourself. Hang in there.

    I'm not a big fan of lemonade either, but if you put some orange slices it in, it's rather good.

    Hope you enjoy your iced tea.

    I'm sorry Janna. Lemons are sour. I didn't know you all had sweet tea in Missouri. Is Missouri considered a southern state? Hmmm. LOL
    Here's to tea and sugar for Miss Janna! :-)

    You are in my prayers Janna. And, I'll take the lemonade if you are not going to drink it.

    When I get too many lemons I use it as lemon-aid literally! But seriously, I know how it feels, so sending you positive energy across the miles.

    Take care.
