When It Can't Get Any Worse

I'm at work, gazing out the window, watching the gray rain clouds move through the dark sky. Rain is pouring down from the heavens, as if trying to wash the earth clean of all it's dirt and grime.

Sometimes you feel like the whole world is caving in, crashing down on you, and that is when you need to look for those small things in life...small things that can lighten up your day, small things like the smile on someone's face, a glittery pink lamp, the Mars bar on your desk, your best friend waiting for you to call, the fragrance of freshly cut grass, people reading your blog, friends praying for you, a pink flower, and even the sound of the pouring rain.

It's amazing how we often take for granted all these small blessings in life and instead focus on the negative things that take place. Well, just a piece of advice: although it might not be all that easy at times, look for those small blessings in life to cheer you up. Look for the silver lining and remember that although it looks like the rain might never stop, it will because above those black clouds, the sun is shining.

Thus, when it can't get any worse, it can only get better. Oh by the way, the rain outside has stopped and the sun is starting to peek through the clouds.
