Silver linings.
There are silver linings in every cloud.
We just need to be able to spot them to weather any storm.
The optimistic metaphor leads me through some 'down' times.
And, I tried to paint a grey sky
with elements of hope looking out.
"Was I deceiv'd, or did a sable cloud
Turn forth her silver lining on the night?"
says Milton in Comus.
Just look for it.
