Silver Lining.....

I just thought of something as I was writing a comment on someone else's blog and I thought I would share it.
On my facebook feed I tend to find a lot of negativity mostly from a handful of the same people. My partner tends to be on the negative side as well. Personally I try to stay positive, but those negative moments can sneak out.
But months ago I gave myself a challenge. Every time something negative pops up in my life, I take a minute and try to find the silver lining. Because, after all, things could always be worse, right?
I gave this challenge to my partner recently, as well as anyone who wanted to take it on my facebook. The difference I noticed in my partner was outstanding. It seemed like she was a different person. She didn't stress as much about all the negative things that might pile up in a days time.
Just now when I was writing a comment, I realized that i wasn't looking at the silver lining. It takes a lot of practice, but i challenge anyone to do the same.

I understand what you`re pointing out 
Yes..I also had those negative things in mind but thinking about it all the time leads me to nothing but headaches and heartaches. Afterall, difficult situations can`t be avoided but giving yourself some good ways in preventing or facing it will help you keep moving on
