Some thoughts...

1. There is a price tag for everything - EVERYTHING. It may be a big tag and you may choose either to pay or not to pay depending on how much you value it, how much it means to you, or how much you want it....

........Or, it may be a small tag, but it does not resonate with you, and so you decide to give it a pass...

But whatever it is, your payment of that price or your passing it up, or your choices about it define and redefine you as a person.

2. We've often heard the saying: "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." We've also, at times, got variations of this....

What I think is that there are ways and ways of making lemon juice with the lemons that life throws at you....and this lemonade carries into it an essence of you....so it can never be the same as anyone else's lemonade...even if you use the recipe given to you by someone else, it will still be different because it would have absorbed your distinctive, your very own signature.

And so.....

Good to keep in mind what Nate Berkus says:

"It's the little things that we do for ourselves - like having a small bud vase with one fresh flower - that impacts the way we feel about ourselves, that lifts our spirits, lifts our mood and changes the course of our day."
