LEMONADE

Cliche' for the day...When life hands you lemons, make lemonade!
I am in a period in my life where I feel like I am at a complete standstill.  It isn't necessarily bad, nor is it bubblegum and lollipops.  I have an amazing family, many friends, a beautiful home, and a healthy body.  When in my life did begin to think I need more?   Instead of soaking in all my blessings each and every day and thanking God for this beautiful life, I think of what it could become or what it will be.  Currently, I am teaching, and I am also coaching hurdles at the high school to a group of great kids.  This results in long days without a lot of pay.  Therefore, while I like what I do, I dream of the days when my paycheck exceeds my gas bill for the month.  This makes me ancy in the things I am doing, instead of enjoying them and doing them with passion and enthusiasm.  I have been influenced by monetary goals, instead of happiness and life's passion.  My goal for the next few months is to simply be content with the place I am in right now, not with the place we may be in next month.  Please do this with me and share the blessings that come from it!! Also, I am doing a great bible study with my mom about letting go of my plans and giving them to God.  This is a blessing for this time in my life...and really suits for the problems that I have on a day to day basis. 
So...The things in my life are the lemons God has handed me...and I am going to make some D*#@ good lemonade :)
Not too mention....one of my favorite things is lemonade!

And since we are on the topic of Lemonade...I have some agave syrup in my pantry that I have been going to put into fresh squeezed lemon juice to try to make a  healthy lemonade...I will keep you informed of how it turns out!
