looking for that silver lining

[crazywitch]

the day before xmas eve i lost my job. on xmas day i fell and broke my wrist. a week later i found i hadn't been paid and will probably have to go to a tribunal for my wages. the silver lining? being laid up and not able to get on my allotment when it was knee deep in snow anyway lol

OMG, crazywitch - that little lot would have reduced me to gibbering rubble! Good for you - looking for the silver lining - another bonus: more Vine time!

[Flummery]

A positive outlook is better than silver and gold - I really believe it increases your health and life span. Good for you!

Very impressed with your outlook Crazywitch

I like that quote from Winnie, Brengirl - specially as he was a depressive!

[selfraising]

Good for you, stay positive!

[SlugLobber]

Hope that things get better for you soon, Crazywitch. With an attitude like that, it surely will!

Feeling for you Crazywitch. Broke my wrist 18 months or so ago and have a metal plate in it. Sure slows you up for a while eh? Good luck - keep positive

The only quote I know from Winston Churchill was from when he was slouched having a drink and smoking his cigar in the house of Lords, with his flies undone.
A junior minister commented "Your birds coming out of the nest Sir", quick as a flash he looked down and said "Harumph...... Not to worry, dead birds can't fly"

Typical Churchill quickwittedness !
I love the other stories I have heard of his humour. The most famous one is when someone said to him accusingly, "You're drunk !" to which he replied,
"And you madam are ugly, but in the morning I shall be sober."
Another I've heard is that he insulted a Jewish Member of Parliament in a Commons debate once by saying that when the honourable member (! ) was circumcised, they threw away the wrong bit... The earliest recorded instance of someone being called a ****head, I suppose !
And there was the lady who said "If I was married to you I would put arsenic in your tea!" to which he replied, "If I was married to you, I'd drink it !"
That man had more cracks than a dodgy wristbone....
Hope the rest helps you relax and keep a nice, positive, successful attitude to whatever life throws your way next.

Good attitude, Crazywitch. Positive thinking gets you everywhere!

Now to ponder what the universe is trying to tell you..... perhaps you were not all that enamoured of your job anyway; maybe you need to spend more time at home; is there something that you've been longing to do that working at whatever you did has made impossible?

As one door closes...........

[crazywitch]

one of favourite sayings 'as one door closes another one opens' spending a lot of time looking for thr right door.

Good attitude Crazywitch. I hope your wrist mends quickly and your tribunal is quick and efficient.

[Rhona]

Love your attitude! With an approach like that, things will fall into place for you, I hope very soon.
