How’s the saying go “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade?” 🍋 Make the most of what we are given. I do love a good quote and it just so happens that today August 29th is National Lemon Juice Day.
According to wikipedia the earliest print version of this phrase is credited to Elbert Hubbard when he wrote:
“A genius is a man who takes the lemons that Fate hands him and starts a lemonade-stand with them.” –
– Elbert Hubbard
Making the best of bad situations or improvising with what you have can also be a superpower. 💥

On This Day 2021
Good evening! I hope you’ve all had a lovely Sunday. I’ve had a pretty chill day. I was craving grilled chicken and rice today so we grabbed a takeaway from one of our favourite places. It was SO good! I told myself I was going to have a rest day from Ring Fit Adventure so I did some yoga. My arms have started to ache quite a bit this afternoon from Exertion River but I also feel full of energy.
