Silver Lining

"I found a list of flaws, I saw in myself...& I threw it away because..bonvoyage..isn't it nice to know, that the lining is silver?"~ "The Lining Is Silver" by RelientK.
I love this band. Their songs helped me get through all of middle and most of high school. Ahaaa. Seriously though. They're still spittin out some pretty good stuff too, although my favorite will forever be the Two Lefts Don't Make A Right But Three Do album [the one w/ the Mood Rings song..hehehe]. This particular line is from The Bird & The Bee Sides album[s] [I do not know the correct wordage]. Also gooood songs on that one, good new ones, and remakes of some that didn't make it past the EPs.
Buuuut anyway, this is not a critique of the band....but rather one of me. It is so easy, sometimes, for me to just get caught up in small rather pointless details. Because I am a detail person. I see how the details work together to make the big picture work together. But sometimes, I try to make extra details that aren't really needed. And I get worked up/frustrated when my particular details/ideas don't work out the way I think they should [this is sooo true. Ask my mother and my close girl friends [yes I don't know that my boyfriend has figured this out yet...]]. Aaaahhh but Jesus always sends me something to set me straight...whether in the form of lyrics, undeserved kind words from a friend [this usually brings out the tears. because I am a tenderhearted person and aahhhh I cry when I'm frustrated/mad], a sunset, or a story of someone with bigger things to worry about - i.e., He shows me that there is a silver lining and the world will not end if my details don't play out how I think they should.
Anyway, it usually helps for me to sort it all out in some written form. because I am a horrible communicator when it comes to doing it verbally.
And so a word of encouragement to you, dear probably-nonexistant-blog-reader: keep your eyes out for the silver lining. Your day will go better if you do, I promise.
