Rainy Days

'When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.'

Sometimes you just have to raise your game.  For that period in life when it never seems to stop raining, metaphorically speaking.  For that period when bad things happen in threes.  For that period when the entire world seems to be on the opposition, laughing at your mistakes.  You can cry, sure.  You can weep all of the clouds out of the sky.  Sob yourself to sleep.  Let it rain.  But give yourself a set amount of time.  A period of mourning misfortune.  And then pick yourself up, dust yourself down and buy an umbrella.

Easier said than done I know.  Especially if it's a broken heart, job loss or even a death in the family.  But why lay down and die?  It's a tough time but the best consequence is that you emerge a stronger person.  Emotionally, mentally and psychologically stronger.  You'll install double glazing.  You'll grow a thicker skin.  So next time, you'll be ready for battle.  And best of luck to the next person who tries to mess with you.
