When Life Gives You Lemons

There are times when life gives you lemons, how you chose to deal with those mishaps is entirely up to you. If you’re anything like me then you’ll probably spend far too much time dwelling upon the negatives, umming and arring over the what if’s and generally over thinking.

I’ve never been one to make lemonade from lemons, I usually find myself turning them over in my hands for a little while before finding myself fruitlessly (like what I did there?) frustrated and throwing said lemons hard against the wall which only ever results in even more mess.

Finding the positives can be bleeping hard work when you’ve become accustomed to being dealt a crap hand. There are only so many knock backs that a person can take, only so many hurdles that they can jump before they become both physically and mentally exhausted.

I’m kind of in that place at present, since returning home from our fabulous family holiday in Majorca reality has returned slapping me hard in the face. It’s no longer a question of what to do, it’s now become a mission to make it to the next hurdle without falling.

The next few months are certainly going to be hectic with appointments and applications, I need to maintain my focus, keep up the fight and give it my all to get where I want need to be.

When Life Gives You Lemons

I’ve never been one to give up but there comes a time when I think enough is enough… I just have to go with the flow and let life take me down its river whilst I maintain a tight grip upon my paddles as nobody wishes to go down the creek without those!

I’ve resigned myself to the fact that life ‘is what it is’, I’ve placed my keys in the hands of fate and I guess what will be will be…
