"Life's problems will be a little less bitter if we sweeten sour lemons with the right attitude." ~ quote by poet There are moments in our lives, perhaps days when we thirst to leave our troubles behind. A bitter taste upon the tongue that stays 'til a sweeter flavor we seek and find. The cliche' about making lemonade is great advice that everyone should take. Life can be more delicious when it's made without sourness when its our thirst we slake. Lemonade, a metaphor used to show that bad situations can become good. Plant a symbolic tree and watch it grow into something much better. Understood? Sweet lemonade served with a sprig of mint... The drink leaves an indelible imprint.

This is a great addition to the lemonade metaphor. A little lemonade should satisfy the judging, too!

Dear Belle, we have to make the best of bad situations. We can only try to rearrange those things we cannot change.
