As I was raking and bagging leaves and pine needles today, and complaining in my head about how large my yard is, I remembered Pollyanna. I loved that book/movie when I was a kid and have tried to look on the bright side of things ever since. (Doesn't always work though)

So the purpose of this thread is to tell us something that you're unhappy about - family, work, chores, etc - and then tell us the good side to it. Yes, there is always a good side.... sometimes it's just harder to see.

Example: I have so many leaves and pine needles to rake today, and I have to clean the house tomorrow for Thanksgiving.

The bright side? I am thankful that I'm physically able to do all this work, and that I have a home to share with everyone coming on Thursday.

Next?
