If your day includes some of these, it’s time to find a pitcher, some water and sugar.
About 9 months ago, I went on vacation. Vacations are unusual for the Klempner family, and I really enjoyed the break from normal surroundings and routines.
Unfortunately, my husband checked his email on the third day of our vacation and informed me that my email account had been hijacked. When I investigated further, I discovered that all my contacts had been deleted, as well.
This scenario might sound familiar–it’s happened to enough of my friends.
Well, when I got back home a few days later and sat back down at my desk to write, the story that flew out of my fingertips was a reimagination of my email hacking.
That story, “It Wasn’t Me,” appears in this week’s Inyan, inside HaModia.
Have any of you out there turned some something annoying, frustrating, or inconvenient into a piece of art?

It is no fun to be hacked! We all have experienced it and many of us just rant and rave about the “mean” hacker and how aggravating it is. (talking about myself here..it was a bit annoying….to have it happen)..kudos to you for turning it around and reframing the situation. Can’t wait to read the fun story that evolved out of these lemons.

Heh…the article I wrote for our college newspaper (with a similar titular reference to lemonade) about my experience there.

Not stories but I’ve been trying of late to find the good in even the worst of things that happen to me. It helps. Is there a link to your story?
