"When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." This is a quote that has been popular for aeons. Many attribute it to Dale Carnegie, and apparently he credits someone called Julius Rosenwald for giving him the phrase. According to Wiki, it actually goes back to 1915 when it was used by Elbert Hubbard in an obituary not long before he went down with the Lusitania.
Whosoever coined the phrase, it is certainly a proactive response to difficult experiences. However, the cartoon shared here, which has gone viral in the circles that I inhabit, tells us that such a response only goes so far.
Sending sympathy and empathy to all who are overwhelmed. Wishing you the strength you need and, above all, hope.
