LIVING WELL
“If life gives you lemons, don't settle for
simply making lemonade - make a glorious scene at a lemonade stand.” ~ Elizabeth Gilbert
The Joy of Making Lemonade from Life’s Lemons “I believe that if life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade...
And try to find somebody whose life has given them vodka, and have a party.” ~ Ron White
our world even though they offer only a surface view. Such is the case with the cliché, “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade”. That sounds nice but what does it actually mean?
C
lichés are a way for us to turn big things into small, manageable bites. They help us make sense of
I understand it’s saying make the best
of every situation, but how? Just saying that we should do that doesn’t make it any easier. During these many stressful months of this pandemic, social isolation, social/ political unrest, the fear of you getting sick, or getting Covid, losing your job, someone close to you dies, or you get a divorce etc.

Things are the lemons life gives you. So how do you add the sweetness to these events to transform them from something bitter into something as sweet and refresh- ing as lemonade? Here are three steps to help you find
the sweetness when you go through hard times.
1. Remember You Are Not Alone Isolation keeps you trapped in tragedy.
You are not alone. You are not the only person who has ever felt this way, has ever had to go through this, or has had this particular struggle. The thing about life is its lessons are universal. So reach out for support. Allow others
to help heal your wounds and support you through these hard times. Even if all they can offer is a phone call or facetime or an outside visit, you will feel better from reaching out and connecting with some- one.
2. Search For Your Silver Lining When bad things happen it is human
nature to get very caught up in the drama of it all. Bad feelings are very intense and they tend to expand with constant focus.
