Yes! I hadn't though of the creative aspect – I have been writing blog posts and sketching plans like a mad woman these past few days, so maybe that is the silver lining!

Wow! What beautiful and inspiring words! And it's so very true what you say about attitude – it is how you approach the 'stuff' that makes all the difference, not the 'stuff' itself.

Sounds like you truly have an amazing approach to life, thanks so much for telling us about it.

Sometimes it's hard to see the silver lining until the storm has passed. I hope your storm passes soon!

Thank you for including our cloud stacker with all the other cute cloudy-ness!

you're so right–EVERYTHING has a silver lining. that's how i got started as well (my husband left, lost my home and had to move to a cheaper [read, slum] home, was broken into repeatedly so lost my belongings, lost my job–BUT i gained the ability to do what i now do).
sometimes the silver lining is the character and compassion for others that is created by going thru the hard times-gold is only refined by fire, not by sitting around taking it easy, and like Kay said, you dont recognize it til later.
Life can be summed up by one word: Attitude. Stuff happens. it can make you or break you, its all up to you and your attitude. We're all in the same boat–that's why we need to be gentle with each other.
peace and blessings to you!

It sounds like even if your little cloud hangs low for a while Emily, that you have some pretty special people to support you! You know what they say too – sometimes angst is the best creative drive for a really amazing pice of art (See, there's a silver lining right there!).

Thanks for showing everyone my little blue fox – he is in wonderful company.

Your mum sounds cool and a wise man once said how most things that seem to need fixing will sometimes fix itself if you leave it be, hope you get out of your funk soon!

The keywords to your funk are "looking back." It's been the same in my life. The current crisis always seems like it will not have a positive outcome. But, "looking back," it will seem there was a reason for it and it will be crystal clear! You have a positive attitude, evidenced by the lovely things you've chosen to highlight, as well as the fact they all seem to have positivity associated with them in one way or another! Great article!
