Page 217 - the bright side. I always try to look on the bright side of situations, although sometime it has been hard. There seem to be some people who just cannot see anything good about their lives, however small. Being able to see things in a good light makes life more bearable, and also helps to make us happier. In retrospect there often seems to be a good reason for some bad things to happen, and they can alter the course of our lives, hopefully for the better. A good laugh over a mishap always helps! So why be down about everything when looking from a different angle will brighten it all up!

Recently, at a friend's funeral, the service ended with the song "Always look on the bright side of life", which suited him perfectly!

Oh wouldn't it be a much better world if everyone did aim to see the positive rather than the negative in things :)
