When Life Hands You Lemons, Make Fajitas

So they say, when life hands you lemons, make lemonade. But, I think I would take the lemons, make fajitas and use the lemon juice on my fajitas, chips and toss the rest in my water. That's the best! Yeah, lemonade is grand (especially Ms. Valindas!!) but fajitas would fill me more, and quite practically are my favorite food. And well, lemonade is only the best in summer right?

I guess when life is difficult you can either stick through it, or you can get up and do something about it. Life's been difficult for me these last few weeks or so dealing with family deaths, injuries and hardships. And well I am doing something about it. I have learned to take my lesson from a situation and walk away better off because of it. My Grama taught me to never regret anything that happens or I will regret my life away.

The last year I lived in Texas was hard, extremely hard, but I walked away a better and stronger woman because of it. People don't always treat you right and life's not fair. But fair wouldn't be fun, would it? Sometimes you want to be the person who ends out on top and sometimes you just cant.

I guess what I am saying is that I am glad for who I am becoming because of the hardships I have dealt with. Some hard things mold you into a better person and some can cause you to be bitter. I choose not to be bitter and I choose to be the bigger person and love through it all. I am strong because of the arrows that were shot at me. I used my shield to reflect them and taught the others that I wont surrender. I sought the right path and headed in the right direction. Just because someone else does something wrong, doesn't mean you have to retaliate. Oh believe me, how I wanted to strangle some people at times. HA! But yeah, I let 'em live. They will have their own time, besides they answer to God, which is a whole lot scarier than I will ever be!

So when you are going through hard things and want the world around you to fade away its OK. Keep going through the darkness and a light will shine somewhere. But until it does, pull out your cell phone, blackberry or what have you and use it to show your footsteps ahead. I haven't made any lemonade lately, but I sure have eaten some good fajitas. Well right now I am full. I am taking my hardships and learning through them all. If you have any other questions, I think life can teach you along your path. Just keep going in the right direction.
