When life gives you lemons - make lemonade!
Don't get mad - get glad!
And my own lengthy but true cliche:
When you drive all the way home to realize that you forgot to grab your house keys (which are locked in the house), and you subsequently miss your nap you intended to take because you now have to drive 15 min. to and from where your dad is working to get his house keys, and then you realize that the Panera cashier thought you said chicken noodle soup when what you really said or at least meant was chicken tortilla soup -
then you say "I will bless the Lord at all times, His praise shall continually be in my mouth" and while you are driving back the way you came to get house keys, you are grateful that Beethoven's 5th came on the radio because you love Beethoven's 5th, and you're thankful because now you will really be ready to sleep tonight, and you're thankful that chicken noodle soup is still kinda good and are thankful that it just cost you $1.50 something. And you just feel kinda thankful because you're alive and have a house and have a job - and suddenly things aren't so bad.
Enjoy the lemonade.

Love the post! It is very encouraging:) Sounds like you are experiencing the same lessons I am.
Great 2nd person-ing. Creative post. You've done a good job of blogging about what happened to you, but yet made a point for us and gave inspiration.
love it.
Life gave me lemonade. I can't imagine why...
I rather like Panera chicken noodle.
I hate losing my keys. And I do it all the time.
Very entertaining post.
I thought that when life gave you lemons, you made grape juice and then sat back and smilied while everyone tries to figure out how you did it.
