Wander & Wonder

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

We all know this one. Sounds easy enough!

But sometimes you try, and the lemonade tastes awful. And sometimes you try, and you do not manage to make any lemonade at all.

You get a setback you did not expect or want, and suddenly it feels like you are back at zero, or somehow even further behind than when you started. Those are the moments when giving up feels easiest. Trust me, I know.

So maybe the saying needs one more line:

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. And when it does not turn out the way you hoped, make another batch.

(Not quite as cute, concise, or catchy, but you get the point!)
