“It never hurts to keep looking for sunshine.”
Eeyore
Oh, perfect, Spidey. And Winnie the Pooh and his friends never fail to provide quotes to make you think.
You’ve probbaly been fooled into thinking that Eeyore is that pessimistic character, who always searches out the doom and gloom, rather than the lighter side of life, but this quote proves otherwise.
A quote filled with hope, which is my word of the year.
It’s a take on the old, every cloud has a silver lining, isn’t it?
If we look hard enough, there is always a positive to pretty much any situation we find ourselves in. Granted, there arae times when it doesn’t seem possible, but when you look back on it, you might realise that glimmer of hope was always there, just waiting for you to realise it, and reach out and grab it.
I think you all pretty much know that I am that eternal optimist, and hope is always inside my heart.
Try and keep it in yours, too.
So… tell me, do you believe in silver linings?
Have a peaceful Sunday Peeps.
But I Smile Anyway...

Yes indeed! Silver lining are everywhere all the time…my Mom just got her first vaccine shot and so did my wife’s parents…our soon-to-be President has a goal of 100 million shots in 100 days, and he has the experience and leadership to make it happen…we can all work together to get past this horrible time and get our “new normal” underway

At least we will put 100% effort of the government towards it – and he will re-establish positive relations with all of our allies – doing it together will defeat this invisible enemy! #alwaysasilverlining

So true, Spidey! But on the aisles you always have to look for a longer time. 😉 Lets head over to Southern California. As more than one songs are saying, there the sun is always shining! :-)) Happy Sunday evening, Sis! I apologize, because here are a lot of movies made around Cornwall are aired. There always the sun is shining too. 🙂 Michael

I’m a lot more hopeful this week, but that’s possibly beause I took the other half of the household to get their first jab yesterday and spent my time waiting outside the health centre watching a lot of elderly people whose lives had just got a little bit safer coming out.

At the moment, no one wants positive, negative is better! Okay I am talking tests! Yes we need to see the good and try not to focus on the disastrous! So I have hope lots of it.
Our middle lad though still exhausted from the fall out of having Covid, went back to work last week. Yesterday he got a text from T &T saying he’d been in contact with someone positive. It could only of been while he was at work. He rang work, they called him in for a test. His work has the same less reliable tests as your work have Sis. So on his day off he went and had a test, it was negative, so he has to have one every day for seven days, I think. But his silver lining is he can go to work today. Personally I wish he didn’t have to.
He dreads each time his phone pings. He has had covid but he still must abide by the rules.
Yup let’s all look for the silver lining. Hugs sis 😁💜💜💜💜

I do. Sometimes good things can come from a difficult situation. For example, maybe somebody loses their job during Covid but then discovers a new path that makes them happier. Hopefully, something good will come out of the ugliness in Washington, D.C., last week.
