What were your silver lining before and now?

Asked by comity (2837points) December 13th, 2011

I’ve been through tough times in my life, difficult childhood, a divorce, illness, but there were always silver linings. Children, grandchildren, close friends, my beloved animals and the house I live in surrounded by nature. What were your silver lining before and now? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbmxPNs1FN8&feature=related

One thing I forgot to put in there was my job, that was another silver lining. I threw myself into my work and forgot my troubles as I helped others. I handled the Volunteer Services Department for an organization that works with blind, visually impaired and multi-handicapped people. I really miss the work, the people, the interactions, etc..

I see two of them on your lap on your avatar. Volunteer somewhere, go to the Johnson Art Museum, it’s pretty cool.
Also music. I’ve got Green Grass and High Tides blaring right now.

My children, my friends, walking, books and humor.

@Adirondackwannabe I volunteer for two Nursery schools doing Storytime Plus and do animal rescue and they’re also silver linings but, my mind would love to do more then my body allows! However, now there’s Fluther and with the touch of my fingers, presto!!

@comity Holy crap. You have spirit. My body is a little younger than yours, so I’m going to kick it’s ass the next time it complains about something.
