When Life Gives You Lemons...

"Look at that lemon, just sitting over there alone in all of that grass," little kid said as we approached the community pool and did, oddly enough, spot one lone lemon in an empty field.

That boy is a finder; the universe brings him lots of things because he is always searching.

"That's pretty weird," I said, not giving it a moment's thought.

"I wonder how it got there?" He continued. "All by itself, it's kind of sad."

"I don't know."

My guess is that someone threw it there but I didn't want to go into the how or who or why of it all so I continued not thinking about it.

"Maybe one day it will grow up to be a lemon tree!" He said. "I bet it's been waiting all this time to prove that it can be more than just a lemon."

...it's been waiting all this time to prove that it can be more than just a lemon.Wow. Maybe we're all just waiting to prove that we can be more than just lemons.

He is a constant lesson that it's worth keeping your eyes and heart and mind open out in the world.
