When life gives you lemons—
You can squeeze them in other people’s eyes.
Misery loves company.
You can always throw them.
Chaos is a great distraction for everyone.
You can make lemonade.
Use the lemon, add some sugar, and hide the bitterness.
But take the time to learn the lesson.
Harvest the lemon seed, plant it, and keep on going.
You don’t have to carry that seed with you.
Leave the seed to the dirt; it knows what to do.
The weight of all the seeds can overwhelm you.
Focus on them and you miss the flowers around you.
Someone will need support and that seed will be a lemon tree.
It will be there for them to lean on and might provide a little shade.
That’s the thing about lemons, really–
It was never about the lemons.
I love this! You put into words what so many of us have lived.
