Lemonade Anyone?

   Hi guy's. Well, I guess we are alone. At least I think so. If not then I've warned anyone that knows me personally not to read it.....that's all I can do.
  I've had quite a string of good days! I love it when that happens, often and sadly, because I've bitten on the "Bi Polar" apple, I am forced to wonder if this isn't the "manic" phase of the disease. It's kind of a two edged sword to go see someone (head shrink-er) because it shakes your confidence in yourself. If I'm down, its the low cycle if I'm up its the high. Good grief, could I possibly be "normal?"
  I'm not saying back "in the day" I wasn't "crazy" but I WAS on dope after all, and I think if your on dope, YOUR CRAZY!
  Today, life is good. It could certainly be better, but so could yours probably. I think this site was one of my better ideas. I think a lot about what to write, here and at the other blog I write. I reject much more than I write. I am my own editor most of the time and I'm rather harsh with myself.
  Bottom line, I think about things that I've struggled hard NOT to think about on this site. Ya know what? It wasn't all bad. Yes, I was a dope fiend for a while and that's certainly not good. Did I learn a few things along the way, things even YOU might not know...you betcha! If I had it all to do over and knew what I know now, would I do it different? YES, wouldn't YOU?
  The more I think, and write, the more I think we are all basically the same "model." It's just what we do with our "lemons." What do you think?

Well, gosh, Will. Where is my comment? I was sure I left one... Guess I'm getting REALLY absent minded! I do think you're right about the lemons! We are all cut from the same mold. You've had some bad experiences, but a lot of kids went through that. Some of them are going through it now. I think you came out way ahead! Take care...

I agree with you 100%, Will! What makes us strong is how we deal with our "lemons". Mine is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, which I'vwe blogged about recently and pretty much conquered.
We all have demons.
It when we give into them that we lose.
I see problems as just another chance to emerge victorious!

Everybody has 'skeletons' in their closet. As far as lemons and what we do with them, everyone varies, but yes, everyone has to deal with the lemons of life. I think most of us would do things differently if we knew then what we know now.

Your post reminds me of the line from the song..."wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then..." Cue: another glass of lemonade.
