"When life gives you lemons, make
lemonade" is a proverbial phrase used to encourage optimism and a
can-do attitude in the face of adversity or misfortune. Lemons suggest
bitterness, while lemonade is a sweet drink.
You
may have noticed that for the past few months I’ve been absent on my blog
and there’s a good reason for this.
Those
of you who have followed my blogging journey will know, I started this blog
about a year after we lost my Mum to lung cancer. She had always encouraged me,
along with my husband to share my passion for more green and eco products and
also to satisfy my love of writing. Her passing encouraged me to jump into the
world of blogging and almost 3 years on from this blog’s beginnings, I still
love writing here albeit a touch less than I’d prefer sometimes.
However,
never in a million years did I think that less than 4 years after losing my
Mum, I would have to say goodbye to my Dad too.
