Every cloud…

…really does have a silver lining. See! 
I try very hard to seek out the silver linings in every situation. 
Last year I tried to find something that could hang in my bedroom that would symbolise this. My search was unsuccessful. Nobody was making what I had in mind, so I decided to make it myself! You can buy clouds with raindrops coming out of them, you can buy clouds with smiley faces and clouds in pretty colours but I couldn’t find any clouds with a sparkly sliver lining. 

I’ve tried my hand at sewing whilst poorly already in my One Stitch at a Time post.
It has taken over six months from start to finish but I think I am finally done. I did each one by hand and (very) slowly they turned into cute this little bunting that will remind me that every cloud has a silver lining. I just need to find somewhere to hang it. 
And one more hanging on my door, 
so even when I have to shuffle back up to bed on poorlier days I have a silver lining waiting for me.

    Silver Linings – M.E. myself and I

    […] I am a firm believer that more often than not, silver linings can be found on the edge of every dark grey cloud. I can’t make a blanket statement about how Every Cloud has a Silver Lining, but I do think there are there most of the time. I’ve spoken about this on M.E. myself and I before and if you’ve been following for years you may remember these older posts. https://the-slow-lane.com/2013/09/03/always-look-on-the-bright-side-of-life/ and https://the-slow-lane.com/2014/01/05/every-cloud/ […]

Hello,

I’m Anna

Welcome to M.E. myself and I, my tiny little corner of the internet where I share snippets of life in the slow lane. You’ll also find all things Blue Sunday here, the annual fundraising event I started in 2013 to raise awareness of M.E., include people living with the illness, and raise money for the M.E. charities who support us.
