Overcoming Life’s Struggles – When Life Gives You Lemons

Author: Jason

When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade right? That’s the case with most people; you work with what you have. Well, what happens if what you have isn’t what you need, or isn’t enough to do much.

The answer is simple, make beef stew.

I know what you’re thinking, “beef stew from lemons? HUH? How does that work?” well my friend, it’s simple, you do something else. Then you add what you have to it. I recently have had a breakdown due to stress. My bills were piling up and our gas was shut off, we had to make decisions like: pay our electric bill and skip meals for a week, or eat and get our electric notices for shut off. It was hard on the mind and the body.

But lucky for me, I have a good friend. I was directed to places to help me and my girl (I.E. Salvation Army, and other places). After our directions we looked harder and found a place willing to pay our gas, and get it turned on. We have a program that gives us free lunch during business days, places which twice a month gives free food stuffs. A program given to us to make our house more energy efficient so our electric bill isn’t so high.

There are always ways to get out of hole, sometimes it can’t be done on your own. Help is nothing to be ashamed of. I was sinking, and I am glad someone tossed me a rope. Stress on me was decreased, my girl is still stressed out, but that’s for a whole different reason.

I am here to help anyone who needs help, but I want to make sure Mary is okay with it. After all it is her website.

Help is nothing to be ashamed of, if it is okay with Mary I’ll help out where I can.

Mary: Of course its alright Jason! People everywhere are struggling financially and it is placing a lot of stress on them personally and also in their relationships. You are going to survive because you have the determination to make things happen instead of sitting at home and wallowing in self pity. If others can see how you, within a short space of time have climbed out of the hole, then they know they can too!
