Hello and happy Monday morning to you. I hope you are well.
Today I want to talk about the figure of speech "every cloud has a silver lining"
Focussing on a silver lining has really helped me when I have been feeling down. Say the bad situation you are in is a big black cloud. There will be something about it that you can latch onto as a silver lining. The small good thing might be completely insignificant and over shadowed by that bad thing but it's still helpful to focus on the one small thing about it that you can be glad about.
I took this picture a few days ago. I think the hundreds of water droplets on the tree look like silver linings.
Last week I was too ill to go and see War of the Worlds with Carrie Hope Fletcher performing. I'd been looking forward to seeing it for several months and I was very excited about it. I was devastated when I realised I just wasn't well enough to make the trip to London. BUT instead I was able to have a nice cosy evening in with my fiancé.
Now I would have much preferred to be withy the rest of my family enjoying the concert, but instead of dwelling on it, I chose to focus my energies on enjoying my evening with Henry. There were a few tears over the weekend but focusing on the good things helped me to not get lost in the negativity.
Focussing on the small, relatively insignificant silver lining helped me get through what otherwise would have been a pretty miserable weekend.
What small thing made you happy recently?
I hope you are having a brilliant day
