Sometimes It Is Tough To Keep My Spirits Up

Count my blessings…I do.

Be grateful…I am.

Sick of the topic…we all are.

           What can I do?

      Control How I Respond To What I Cannot Control.

Share Good Karma

Our Family Has A Mantra.

  “Share Good Karma Back Into The Universe”

• One car cuts you off.

          Let the other car in.

• A cashier goes above and beyond.

          Write a note to his manager.

• One friend is ill.

          A book arrives unexpectedly in the mail. Witty and entertaining illustrations help bring her a smile.

• Another friend has received “stay at home orders” for the umpteenth time.

          Send her driftwood from the West Coast, all polished up and pretty. A happy memory.

Build A Gazebo

No visitors inside our house.

       Build A Gazebo where we can visit outside with our bubble, rain or shine.

Make Lemon Pavlova

I love lemons. 

           Make Lemon Pavlova, a guilty pleasure.

Reminiscent of meeting long-time friends for the first time.

Recipes from good friends living in Australia.

When Life Hands Me Lemons

I am challenged to change myself. 

My Response Is A Choice I Can Control

I choose to Share Good Karma back into the Universe.

I choose to Keep My Spirits up, Build a Gazebo and Make Lemon Pavlova.

I choose to be Grateful and Count My Blessings.

               And that changes everything.

How do you deal with setbacks in life? 

Do you have favourite recipes using lemons?
