Making Lemonade

“When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.”- (anonymous)

God can use negative circumstances to bring about his Glory. I don’t think that God is the author of hardship or that he wills bad things for his people. However, entropy is the natural state of our world. Things fall apart. Gravity happens. Randomness strikes again and all may seem lost.

All is not lost. It is in the darkness that light can be seen in its purest, brightest form!

“We are pressed on all sides, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed” – Romans 6:8-9

Masterpieces can come from hard times. If JK Rowling’s mom had not died, if she had not been suffering and poor, we probably wouldn’t have Harry Potter! Our hards times become part of who we are and can help us grow into compassionate, insightful people who get life’s hardships and can help others through tough times.

So, what is your gift? What is your story? What is your hardship? Can you use your hardship to nurture your gift or develop new gifts? Someday, you may use this…

I’m Dr. Kim Day, occupational therapist.

Welcome to my cozy corner of the internet dedicated to all things wellness and OT. Sunny Day Therapy offers occupational therapy in the Hamburg area of Lexington, Kentucky. We offer pediatric, sensory, reflex, feeding, social emotional, and mental health trainings online and in person worldwide. I also offer executive function coaching and training for therapists and teachers across state lines. Occupational therapy is a client-centered, holistic profession that empowers people to problem-solve how to complete their occupations or “valued activities” with improved independence and success. It is a paradigm-shifting, perspective-giving occupation that encourages us to think about both the person (strengths & skills), environment, and the occupation (activity of value).  Here, I invite you to join me on a journey of creativity, empathy, and healing. My blog will give you the write stuff, write away to inflate and inspire! For those wanting to look at Sunny Day Therapy’s clinical site, it is located at https://sunnydaytherapy.net. This blog here is devoted to education, resources, and support for caregivers seeking information. Please contact me at kim@beewellot.com if you need additional support through skilled therapy or a teacher/organization leader interested in me designing a CEU for your organization!
