How I wish she were wrong. Disappointments leave us with the unpleasant task of squashing, crushing, and pinching lemons to extract any and all juice. Here, then, are a few of my techniques to turn sour into sweet, to try my best to overcome disappointment. 1. Throw away the evidence Albert Einstein failed his college entrance exam. Walt Disney was fired from his first media job. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team. Get it? 2.

With everyone mentioning blooming, flowers, cooking, or expanding your talents, the blogs have a great deal to offer for broadening your horizons this summer. Find here ways to brighten your days and that of your Alzheimer’s patient.  Perhaps even the children in your home.  Just reading the phrase, “blooming in June,” gives me cheery visions of flowers and gardens and birds and butterflies.  Then there are floral designs on food and quilts and crafts.  When you take time for introspection, you’ll find ways to feel better about yourself…blooming within. Two of the blogs where I write participated.Â...

I'm sure of it. It did wonders for my grandma, who planted and flowered and blossomed for most of her life and long after her rounded back and arthritic fingers told her to stop.

I'm no lifelong gardener or anything. I'm more of a spur-of-the-moment kind of girl. And I haven't a green thumb on either of my hands. My flowers always seem to die.
