  My lemon story is just over 2 years old, but reflects the power of positive thinking. In 2007 as a single guy I just landed a good paying job and quickly bought a house. It all crashed later that year - I lost my job due to some accusations, most of my "friends" ignored me, housing prices tanked and I was 2 months into an upsidedown mortgage. I looked at what I had left - health, family and faith. I forgave, went back to school, got a better job and am better person because of the experience.

  Hello this is Sarawr again. The lemon should be squeezing! Where are all of the inspirational stories??? My boyfriend that I've been with for the last year and I have broken up. For a while, it was all lemons. Then I met my new friend, Jesus. I was just hanging out in town and ran into him. He really has helped me make lemonaide. Thank goodness for friends. My bestie, Ash has been a big help also. When your romantic life dies, always turn to friends. They are more helpful than you would think.

  For a while I felt myself slipping away across the universe. I was crumbling like a cigarette ash. Nothing in life seemed worth living over. Then I realized that I have so much to be happy about. My long-lost brother came home, and my niece is growing so fast. I'm afraid if I blink I'll miss something. I have so much to live for, even if my life is sucky sometimes. I <3 the LEMON!

  When things really go wrong, I just shift perspective, and try to find for each negative thing a positive benefit: Minus and Plus, you know. Five years ago I did it in a park, in Amsterdam, with a small paper and pen. Right now, I just do it in my mind. Normally, at the end, plus are always more than minus, I swear! Embrace the lemon!!

  I had no idea Embrace The Lemon was a movement til just now, but you've been in my my life for months. Last winter I was walking home after frustrating errands, angry that I was still living in Seattle, freezing and unhappy with where my life was, and super mad at my fiance about something. I had my head down and was power walking home; then suddenly I looked up right as I came face to face with an Embrace The Lemon poster. I stopped dead in my tracks, took it as an omen, smiled, and went home.

  ad biz can suck my lemons

  Fresh batch of lemons just arrived: I just got laid off. This being the 4th time it's almost like a change of seasons. Something new to look forward to? I guess this makes it the "winter" of my career. Not really the best season for lemonade, but hey I'm ready. I'll be spending more time with my boys and with my wife's starting a new job(perfect timing) we're covered by insurance, whew!. Off to make lemonade...

  I am a Junior in high school this year, and it's really depressing me how fast my friends and I have grown up so fast. Pretty soon this will all be over. My parentals have started me on anti-depressants, like something is wrong with me. But I have decided that growing up isn't so bad. The best is yet to come and maybe this medicine isn't to fix something that may or may not be wrong with me. Maybe it's to help me cope. Embrace the lemon.
