Bowl of cherries, box of chocolates, lemons into lemonade...why are there so many life metaphors about food?

Ok, so, life is hard. We all know that. I am having one of those days today. Yesterday was also one of those days so I am really hoping it doesn't mean that this is one of those weeks. I am a big believer that life is what you make it. You can make it good or you can make it crappy. I am a fan of making it good. But some days that feels a lot harder to do than other days. I am not giving up on today, it may turn around. If it isn't going to get better then I can work on my attitude because as Abraham Lincoln once said "most people are only as happy as they make up their minds to be".

One of the things weighing on my mind today is that I am feeling like I haven't done much with this life I've been given. I want to make a difference. I want to leave something behind. I want to effect change in this world. I want to inspire others to be the best they can be. The best way I know how to do this is to live my best life and hope that it touches and inspires others to do the same. The catch right now is that I don't feel like I am living my best life. How can I inspire others when I myself am uninspired?
I guess the sheer fact that I am writing this means that I am not uninspired...just maybe feeling blue about not doing much with my inspiration. I have ideas, but they stay ideas. I need to make them real. They aren't doing any good sitting in my head.
