Lifestyle Advice from a Small Pink Bunny Part 5, Lemons. Comic #122
 
Home

The strange bias in our culture against receiving lemons has always struck me as odd. If life gives you a fragrant source of vitamin C that is an essential ingredient in many Mediterranean cuisines, from a tree that needs an adequate supply of water and can be killed by the frost, add a lot of sugar! I feel like it must be a fairly recent saying that started with cheap industrialized food or a saying that started with the clueless and wealthy. If life gives you a three course banquet, chew thoroughly. If dry cleaning your shirts becomes too expensive, get your wife to do it!

Courage Doesn't Always Roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow." I was looking for inspiration for today's comic and I came across this quote by Mary Anne Radmacher that was so perfect for the Things! I will try again tomorrow.

Image of a mug teetering on the edge of a table. Caption: This mug has a lot of potential. The mug has smashed on the ground. Caption: Now all the potential energy has been used. First as kinetic, then as noise and a mess. Thing 1: hmmm. Thing 2: Maybe I'll just joyfully and tenaciously pursue stuff I care about.

Survive Comic transcript Boot: When I was younger, anger and sadness kept me alive. Love was too impossible and made feelings too intense anyway.

There is no shame in your sadness and anger. No shame staying alive out of spite. You survived. You held on And got us here. And I am glad.

    We have a lemon tree in our backyard (well, back-concrete-slab-plus-tree) and when life gives me lemons, I’m pretty excited about it. It means I can make preserved lemons, limoncello, candied lemon peel, OR of course lemonade. =)
