Making Lemonade

All we hear in the news is how bad the economy is and worse still,that there is no sign of improvement in the near future. OK so where does that leave us?

With a choice that's what. Ever heard that expression what goes up must come down? Can we apply that here and say the reverse, anything that is down may (possibly) go up? I don't know about that - all I know is it often applies to my bathroom scales. One week I am doing great and shedding the pounds and next thing I know the needle is creeping up again!

Let's choose a different idiom, shall we- every cloud has a silver lining? It may be hard to see at the moment when you walk into the supermarket and baked beans has gone up yet again..

We do have a choice in the matter though, we can make adjustments to our spending, change our eating habits, reduce our non essentials expenditure, and ride the waves as they come.

And when life gives us lemons......
