Here is how Life works.

Life hands you lemons.  Sometimes one or two at a time, other times a whole crate full.  So you clean up your storage room and find sugar to make lemonade so as not to put those good ol’ lemons to waste.  Then Life causes you to either trip on your own big feet and spill the freshly-made lemonade all over the floor, or you find out that you accidentally put salt in your lemonade and have to start over.  Take your pick.

By then you still have a ton of lemons – because Life is so generous – but have no sugar.  At this point a friend has an inclination to bring over some sugar, and you make lemonade together.  By the time your lemonade is again depleted you have already received your new allotment of lemons.  So now it’s time to gather more sugar, make a new batch of lemonade, and enjoy it with someone you love.

That is how Life works.

Case in point – this weekend was filled with loved ones rallying to support my husband and me through some struggles.  Then not 15 minutes after lowering a bill this morning to make things manageable, I got pulled over for failing to stop at a stop sign on my way to work.  Lemonade is served, y’all.
