A-Z Blogging Challenge Day 12: L is for Lemons

You always hear people say "If life gives you lemons, make lemonade!" So true. From a philosophical point and a literal point!!

I try to live my life by doing what I can with what I'm given. I do work hard and make my own luck, but sometimes life does deal us a crappy hand. And what else can you do?? Crying and throwing a fit isn't helping anyone. So I always try to find a way to turn life's crap into something sweet.

And I so love lemonade! I mean, really, what else are lemons for??? Yeah, I've had some tasty lemon chicken dishes, and it's good mixed into other meals as well, but you don't see anyone peeling and eating a lemon all by itself. Lemonade used to be my go-to beverage whenever we went out to eat. I never used to be a big fan of pop (or soda, as most of the world calls it). I was never very fond of the carbonation. But somehow that changed when I was pregnant with my first child...it was one of my cravings and never went away. But anyway, I used to drink lemonade wherever we went. I adore the Kiwi Lemonade at Applebees!! And Tully's has some really great flavored concoctions too!
