Lemon Thanks

When life gives me lemons,

I will say thanks;

unlike when life gives me lentils,

which are one of lifes pranks.

Quand la vie te donne des citrons.

Quand la vie te donne des citrons...

Make a stand and sell the lemons.

Some other folks like it in tea...

Others might use it as a cold drink.

You can use lemon skin as zest...

Quand la vie te donne des citrons-

Take the lemons & use their seeds...

Go on and plant a lemon tree.

When Life Gives You Lemons...

Indulge in a Skinny Spiked Lemonade Margarita

Ingredients (4 servings)

1/2 c. fresh lemon juice, ~4 lemons

1.5 c. filtered water

2 Tbsp brown sugar, or 4 Tbsp raw sugar

6 oz. (3/4 c.) tequila

sliced lemon, garnish

Instructions

Juice the lemons over a strainer to collect the seeds and pulp. (I used a 4 cup measuring cup to prepare, it worked great.)

Add the sugar and water to lemon juice, mix well, the sugar may take a minute to dissolve, just mix every so often.

Add the tequila, stir well to combine.

Serve in a small glass filled with ice. Garnish with lemon slices.

Enjoy!

Lemon Ode

When life lobs

you lemons,

squeeze the light.

Throw lemons

lightheartedly

to the wind

and then order

the lobster tail,

leaving

no seeds behind

lick lots of

lemon butter

on your

luscious lips.

When Life Gives You Lemons

When life gives you lemons,

then get used to eating bitter fruit

and embrace it wholeheartedly

find the sweet in the sour

the joy in the pain

keep eating those lemons

so that one day

you can eat strawberries

When life gives you lemons....

crush them under the heel of your boot and move on. Just because life is bitter, it doesn’t mean that you have to be.

When Life Gives You Lemons

Coat yourself in merangue;

Light, fluffy;

substance made of nothing.

Envelop tart and tangy,

with a foamy barrier.

Enshroud in illusion to

conceal the

zest and bland

the bright.

Lemons, Lemons, Everywhere

When life gives you lemons, you have two choices: one, cry as the juice stings your bloody cuticles; two, battle through the pain

“When life gives you Lemons” (floccinaucinihilipilification)

Why do we regift the gift that's given?

Life gives us

what Its got:

Zest, Scents, Pips

Experience!

But we just

pooh-pooh

the lot as:

"lemons"

And squeeze

the original

into what

it's not

When Life Gives you Lemons

My father told me some great advice when I was growing up and I often re-quote him with the following;

"Nothing in this life is for free! If anyone says "here take this, it's free," don't beleive a word of it. But if it really is for free, then grab it with both hands and ask no questions!"

So when life gives you lemons, be grateful you got lemons, especially if they were for free.
