If Life Gives You Lemons: Makes Lemonade

I use to seriously hate that saying; maybe because I didn't really understand or never had to live it before. Now I cling to it, like a child clings to their teddybear at night.

I thought this would be a great way to express my feelings on life as I currently am experiencing it. It certainly is a lot cheaper than therapy, and it can't hurt, right?

As my very good friend recently commented to me, "It sucks being Ann right now." As sad, and somewhat mean as that sounds, she's right on the money. And she can still make me laugh, which is always a good thing.

I am nearing the end, hopefully, of a very long and bitter divorce process that has left me completely drained of most of my self-esteem and all of my fortitude. This process has forever altered my faith in people and jaded my belief in the American Judicial System. How did my life get so completely out of control? I wish I knew the answer.

For those of you who have been by my side throughout this process, I apologize for the repetition. For those of you that haven't, maybe my words can make you laugh, cry or give your feelings a sense of validation. We'll see....
