Take stock of the good things in your life. You are actually luckier than you think. (I-complained-I-had-no-shoes-until-I-met-a-man-with-no-feet = you know what I mean?)
It is helpful to periodically take stock of all of the positive things in your life. Your family and friends may rank high on that list. Your health may as well. By focusing on the gifts you have received you will have perspective on the lemons that life throws at you.
And if you end up with too many lemons, maybe its time to open that vodka.
Cheers!
