When life gives you lemons

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where it seems as if everything that can go wrong does go wrong? Well, for your blogger here, this has been that week. According to the powers that be (aka doctors) I need to have my tonsils taken out. Obviously not my idea of a good time but there you go. When people hear this they usually say, "It'll be fine. You can eat as much ice cream as you want!" or "That sucks. At least you get to stay home for a while."

Well, this got me to thinking. WHY would I want to eat as much ice cream as I like? WHY would I want to just stay home? I like being active. I like eating healthy. Why should I blow both because my tonsils have an attitude problem? Why is it whenever things go badly for us we turn to food or inactivity?

So I'm reframing this "lemon" situation. As I wait to get this done, I will eat healthy, soft foods. I will continue to be active, even if it's just walking up and down the steps. I will make those choices that contribute to a healthier me because I deserve it. Don't we all?

So when life gives you lemons remember that lemons aren't that bad.

Love Always,
