When life is full of lemons

When life just throws you lemons, when your world is upside down.
What can you do? What can you say? To turn your life around.

When life don't seem to friendly, when it seems to spit you out.
Simply pick yourself up and dust yourself off and don't give in to doubts.

Life is a funny old game - it really is. Just as soon as you think you've got it all figured out and everything is planned then BAM!! Presto chango!

Sally knew that feeling all too well. She had spent most of her adult life it seemed swerving from one mess to another and feeling time, money and opportunities slip through her outstretched fingers. Every plan, every solution, every well formed idea for getting herself back onto the straight and narrow seemed to somehow go astray and leave her little or no better off than she was before it began.

What was the secret that other people - more successful people - clearly knew of but that she had clearly missed out on? She wondered this daily. Sometimes even hourly. How had she not gotten herself out of this mess already?
