         My version of the "lemon advice" is:
         
         "If life gives you lemons throw them back.  It can help to know you still have what it takes to throw."

      my mom used to always say "The good lord never gives you more than you can handle at one time".
      
      my dad always said "When you feel overwhelmed by a big problem, break it out into managable chunks and deal with them according to their importance". that one has served me well. (actually, my mom's advice too)
