When Life Gives You Lemons...

Today is one of those days where the lemons are abundant and I have found myself counting down to the moment bedtime can lead to a new day with a fresh start. Throughout the day I received some very sad family news, very frustrating professional news and a big gulp required of my ego...twice.

So what to do, sit and wallow, or decide the fresh start starts now? Tonight I am working on the second option...

Step 1: take myself to a tranquil space in my hOMe and light an aptly lemonade scented candle
Step 2: put in the earphones and listen to an uplifting and inspiring podcast
Step 3: pull out my visual journal and create ~ focusing on what I can control from here
Step 4: bath with Epson salts and drops of lavender
Step 5: bid today adieu and visit the sandman

What do you do with those lemons when life presents them to you?
