When Life Hands You Lemons.....

                 "When life gives you lemons, squirt someone in the eye." Cathy Guisewhite
                       “When life gives you lemons, chunk it right back.” Bill Watterson
                       "When life gives you lemons, you don't make lemonade. You use the seeds to plant a whole                                  orchard." Anton St. Maarten
                        "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade."

Life continually challenges us.  It brings us down, it presents obstacles, it refuses to relent when we need a break the most. As parents and guardians, we try to shelter children from these hardships and give them the upbringing of our dreams.  Yet, in all of our efforts to shelter the children from the lemons of life, we fail to give them the opportunity to learn how to deal with life. Sometimes, the best teaching occurs when we let them falter, and prove to themselves they can in fact get up. They need to learn that skill, because as adults, we wouldn't survive without it.
