The Silver Lining

I’m reading Napoleon Hill these days…  He’s awesome I tell you. I get inspired to such an extent that my eyes get all watery at certain climatic sentences. It’s pathetic. And since I’m feeling all numb and blank these days every little utterance of inspiration seems extra awe-inspiring to me. It says somewhere in the book that every adversity brings with it the seed of an equivalent advantage. So these days I’m always looking out for the silver lining in everything that isn’t just right in my life. And I tend not to takes things too much to heart as well. We brought a wheel chair home recently for my dad who had a bit of an accident at home and dog-a-doodle (who loves car rides more than anything in the world)  took an immediate liking to it. Got on and insisted on being given a ride around the hall as well. There’s something about the untainted joy and love of and for a dog that makes you forget that, well forget everything that’s not right in the world. A dog is happiness, and if you have one in the house, that in itself provides something to be happy about when all else is crumbling around you. Your love for your dog helps maintain your sanity and gives you at least one thing that’s stable in your life to be happy about. What does dog-a-doodle have to do with the silver lining in all that’s gray? Well nothing really, but she’s certainly something positive in my life that does not waver. And she makes everything else ok and survivable.
