Mimi Pencil Skirt aka Queen of Memes has this to say for this weeks' meme:
"Sometimes life hands you pomegranates. You get wiser. Sometimes life hands you that icky lemonade. You get stickier. Sometimes life hands you a boatload of people who either enhance your journey in lovely ways or rock the boat off course just for the hell of it. You get an oar and row in your own direction. It happens to all of us. Either way, there's gratitude to be found if you're willing to look. Sometimes the conflicts are indeed blessings in disguise - you just don't know it yet. Sometimes the storm IS the thing you will one day bless while you wait for calmer seas. Maybe not today, but someday. So find some patience and hang on. We all have something to be grateful for one way or another. I found a few things this week. I hope you did too."
