When Life Gives You Lemons . . .

Take those lemons and squirt the juice into the eyes of all the people that suck.

Okay, that's a little dramatic.

I'm not one that actually seeks out that kind of silly revenge, but those thoughts help me get over it. I know that I tend to be a people pleaser. I want people to like me. I want people to like the things that I do. I want to be helpful. I want people to want to be around me. Is that such a bad thing? I don't think so, but it does tend to leave me wide open for getting my feelings hurt. I have to remind myself often that not everybody is the same as me. They don't have my same expectations, likes and dislikes, personality. Conflict is built into the system here. Its how you handle the conflict that makes the difference.

So today is a new day. I will do what makes me happy. I will do things that I'm good at. I will snuggle with my awesome son. I will create. I will enjoy ME and all the wonderful things in my life.

And thus ends the pity party that I have been throwing myself for the past day or two. Move on already girlfriend!

Now here are some pictures that are better options of what to do with lemons than try to blind people. Inspiration for a fresh new day!

You really dont want the deets on this day, which is why I didnt share them in the first place. Dont worry, I WONT be stalking you with a purse full of lemons, just waiting to strike ;)
