It takes more than just lemons to make lemonade

We have all heard the tired cliche about what to do when life 'hands us lemons.'  Missing from that wisdom is that we have to use our personal resourcefulness. Lemonade takes sugar to make the fruit far less tart, the action of squeezing to make the fruit juice usable, ice to chill the beverage and some glass or container to hold our output. It takes our knowledge, activity and logistics to make a great glass of lemonade, Next time, you make a something out of life's lemons, look at all the different tools that aided you in making something from the lemons. Give yourself credit for using them too.
