As the old saying goes, when life hands you lemons, make lemonade.
Well, life lobbed a few grapefruits at our heads in the last six months. So much for gently handing out lemons, eh?
It's been a rough couple of months in our household, but somehow Thanksgiving marks a turning point. It might be an arbitrary turning point, but we'll take it nonetheless. We're focused on giving thanks rather than crying or biting people's heads off (okay, okay, so Carolena and I are the ones who do those two things around here more than anyone).
We have so much for which we give thanks and I choose to focus on those things. Two beautiful children, good health all around (praise God), and more comforts in life than many can even dream of. Friends and family to love and be loved by, a pantry stuffed with food, an incredible church, food, toilet paper, running water... and love love love.
I say, when life starts throwing citrus, buy rum and share it with the ones you love.
