WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS







Resist the urge to throw them at someone. 
You do not want to spend a night in jail.
I hear Robin Williams as Mrs. Doubtfire shouting, "It was a run-by fruiting."
You don't want that, do you?
When life gives you lemons

Put on your big girl parties.
Suck it up. 
Do what you gotta do to make it through the day.
 Move on.
When life gives you lemons.

No matter what.
Hold your head up.
Be grateful.
Not hateful.
Don't let anyone see your tears.
Don't let anyone know your fears.
When life gives you lemons.
Don't let the turkeys get you down.
I know that's old school
It applies.
Some things are out of your control.
When life gives you lemons.

You feel as though you are falling down Alice's rabbit hole.
The hole is bottomless
You just keep falling. 
Spiraling down, down, down into darkness
When life gives you lemons.

The lemons are hitting you so hard and fast.
You are afraid you will get a concussion.
Damn, those lemons.
 
You can do it.
You'll get through it.
The lemons will lose their sour taste.
Miraculously they will be sweet
That's what happens. 
When life gives you lemons.
