I am grateful that I can see the positive side of any situation.

The positive side and the hard side occupy the same room, and finding one does not evict the other. People in hospital waiting rooms still notice that someone thought to bring sandwiches.

That noticing is a skill, and like most skills it is uneven. Some days it takes an hour to find anything. Some days you find it before the coffee is done.

What matters is that you keep looking, not that you always succeed. The looking is the part you own. What you find is partly up to the day.
