      What about those metaphorical lemons that life is bound to

      hand you now and then? Acidic, sour, trying times that you

      just can't seem to enjoy or digest. The most successful and

      happy among us never miss out on a chance to turn sour into

      sweet, hard times into learning experiences. While it may not

      be easy, we know that seeing those lemons as pure potential

      is the way to go. Adversity spurs creativity; challenge breeds

      success.

      When you're feeling surrounded by useless lemons, never

      forget that you have some choices. When you're stuck in a

      difficult time, you can change your outlook and your circum-

      stances, you can stay healthy and surround yourself with love,

      you can seek out and find the hidden treasure all around you

      in everyday things, and, perhaps most importantly, you can

      figure out how to be grateful for any and everything that comes

      your way. And you never know, maybe all it will take is a little

      water, sugar, and ice before you're feeling much, much better.

      rose-colored specs means that half your problems will look like

      exciting challenges, and the other half you'll probably realize

      aren't problems at all, just facts of life.

      I can think of people who have everything they could ever

      want and are still miserable. I can think of people just scraping

      by whose joy for life overflows onto everyone around them.

      Sometimes we take for granted the great pleasure we can take

      from very little things. Sometimes, too, we forget to give our-

      selves permission to enjoy over-the-top abundance, as if we

      somehow didn't deserve it. Most important, life is best when we

      set our judgments aside and savor the moment of whatever it

      is that the universe is dishing out, in big or small servings.

      We're surrounded by beauty of all kinds. It can perk us up, calm

      us down, and even heal our bodies and souls. Getting attuned

      to this splendor is a great way to pass the
