Have you ever heard of The Lemonade Stand Life Podcast?
No.
Because this was an idea I had back in 2014. And I never launched it. š¤¦šæāāļø
I wonāt spend too much time crying over spilled milk.
But I missed a daily gratitude prompt here. š
Not that I expected to be āperfectā and never miss a day. I just didnāt expect to miss one this soon.
While:
There are almost a dozen draft prompts on the back end waiting to be finalized and shared.
I have 100+ prompts Iāve written for myself over the years.
And I still want to share the ācreative gratitude practicesā I use as a foundation for my personal gratitude habit.
Life handed me lemons yesterday.
So I missed a day.
But the truth is, I didnāt have to.
Iāve had this thought for years (canāt remember if I heard it somewhere or if itās a Conrad original) that:
When life hands you lemons, you can do more than make lemonade, you can open a lemonade stand.
But sometimes a lemonade stand may be too much. It takes way more than just lemons.
Sometimes making lemonade may be too much. What if you donāt have any water?
Sometimes you should give the lemons to someone else.
Maybe someone who knows how to make:
lemon oil
lemon bars
lemon risotto
lemon preserves
lemon meringue pie
lemon chicken pasta
What if you just want to eat the lemons?
What if you donāt want to do anything with the lemons today? š¤·šæāāļø
These are all viable options.
We can do (or not do) whatever we choose with what weāve been handed.
We can combine what weāve been given (lemons) with other resources to bring smiles to peopleās faces and put profits in our pockets (a lemonade stand).
We can tap into other peopleās skills to make lemony delicious treats.
Or we can do something much simpler.
Todayās gratitude prompt:
When have I seen ālemonsā turned into a ālemonade standā that brought smiles to peopleās faces?
