Make Mine Sweeeeeet!

     Most of us, at one time or another, find it 'difficult' to move beyond a, 'moment in time', wherein, we made a choice or decision, which, did not 'pan out' as we might have hoped. Although, this may be a common reaction, to our disappointment, due to the result of our option, it is not, in my opinion, a healthy one. Insofar, as I'm concerned, we are supposed to learn from all that we do, and, this, includes, too, the dissatisfaction we may experience, upon realizing that a conclusion we 'came to', or, a 'judgement' we made proved to be less than optimal, for our purposes. I, personally, do NOT believe, that, we make BAD-decisions, for WHY would we go about, purposefully, doing that? No...instead, I prefer to embrace the 'reality', that, we make the very, BEST-choice(s) we are capable of, at any given time, with, these, oftentimes, not working out to our advantage. However, IF, by and through our lack of 'success', with respect to any, given, 'selection' we have made, we LEARN something, then, well...we have, in fact, been successful. Sure, it's the whole 'lemonade from lemons' 'philosophy', that, I am espousing, but, HECK...as far as I can tell, it, sure, beats, 'crying over spilled-milk', right? For, all one can do with that 'mess' is clean it up and try to 'get over it'; at least, with life's-'lemons' one can create a palatable, 'concoction' by, simply, adding the right amount of 'positive-attitude'. Just Sayin'...
