“Every silver lining has a cloud.”
—Mary Kay Ash, Founder of Mary Kay Cosmetics
Living in Michigan for over 30 years, I have come to fully appreciate all four seasons. For many who live here, the joke goes that there are only two: Winter, and Construction.
I also see the down side of this perspective, yet most Michiganders are a pretty hearty, upbeat bunch.
Folks around here seem to find a good number of silver linings on a day-to-day basis despite those cloudy days and episodes in life. We are pretty good at making lemonade and of course experience gratitude for all the good things around us.
EXERCISE:
How can you more fully notice and appreciate the silver lining moments in your life? Looking for clouds may be a good place to start.
