Lemons vs. Oranges

Today someone told me after hearing about my life that it is a wonder I have the ability to get dressed, walk a straight line and form sentences.  I have often thought about my past and wondered how I came to be an independent, functioning adult.  I have often thought about my present and wondered how am I going to get through this.  I have often thought about my . . . well, honestly I don't think much about the future anymore.  I am an adult.  This is my life.  These are the cards I have been dealt and I am making the best of them.  When life hands you lemons, don't sit there and wish they were oranges.  Live for today and be proud of who you are.  Don't forget about the past.  It made you the person you are today. But don't dwell on it either, because there is no changing it.  The most you can do is learn from it and not repeat it.  As long as you can get dressed, walk a straight line and form sentences, you're doing damn good!
