Lesson #38: "When life hands you lemons, make... Grape juice?"

Everyone knows the saying "when life hands you lemons, make lemonade!" Well, lately I've been making a lot of lemonade. Or, trying to. But life keeps throwing too many lemons at once! So I was thinking, maybe I'm looking at this the wrong way. Maybe the lemonade I'm making isn't the right kind. Maybe I should take these lemons that life keeps throwing at me and making something completely different: Grape juice. (No one will ever see that coming!) When I think lemons, I think sour. Sure, you can add sugar to it to make it sweet, but you will eventually run out of sugar to do so. I don't know how many of you have tasted freshly made grape juice, but it is out of this world. Just requires a little time and work. Same with our lives! You can keep putting sugar on those lemons, but eventually you'll run out and then what? OR you could make grape juice. It's not always fun, or quick, but in the end, it's worth it. It's not fake, and it doesn't require anything but yourself.

Does 2+2=5? No, but you can most certainly make grape juice from lemons.
