Making Lemonade

I am trying hard to make lemonade from the lemons we were dealt last week, I am trying, really I am.

But no matter how much sugar (retail therapy) I try to put into my life, no matter how much fizz (family and friends) I try to add, the fact is that lemons are sour, and these lemons are the sourest ones ever.

There is little I can do but wait it out, knowing that things will turn around, but right at this moment, right here, right now ... that is way too far away.

Hoping your week is going better than mine.

It Is Not My Place To Make Everyone Happy

Write this 10 times as punishment for failing yet again.

It is not my place to make everyone happy
It is not my place to make everyone happy
It is not my place to make everyone happy
It is not my place to make everyone happy
It is not my place to make everyone happy
It is not my place to make everyone happy
It is not my place to make everyone happy
It is not my place to make everyone happy
It is not my place to make everyone happy
It is not my place to make everyone happy

So why do I keep trying and failing so miserably at my own expense? Am I truly a masochist that looks for pain. Maybe Simon is right. Maybe I need to realise I can't solve everyones problems, I cant make everyone happy and feel good about themselves. I am not everyone's healer. And I should just give up and let everyone fight it out for themselves. Because I am sick and tired of being caught in the middle of everyone else pain and anger.
