So - I was just curious - what ARE some of the silver linings out there? o_O Doesn't any one else have any?
I've got a double one. It's pretty big.

Part 1: Recently I found out, after deciding that it wasn't ever going to happen for me and planning my life around that, that I was pregnant. At first I was upset. Really upset. I had my life PLANNED OUT. (I know. Silly.) Silver lining? My husband stepped up in a big way and was very supportive, so it didn't take me very long to accept and even embrace the idea, and that has brought us closer together.

Part 2: Yesterday I lost the pregnancy. I don't remember the last time I felt this sad about anything. I'm not a crier, but there was a lot of crying. Silver lining? Absolute clarity on what I want, and I feel so surrounded by love. Also, I can take ibuprofen again.
