Every cloud has a silver lining, and photographers know this perhaps more than most people. With a little effort even a grey sky can become beautiful, in fact, some of them are more wonderful to look at than a clear blue sky with nothing in it – which is, quite frankly, rather boring from my perspective.

Life can be a bit like that too. Something bad happens and we look at what we have lost, not at what we have left, and certainly not what amazing new things the future will bring. The unknown is scary, and like these clouds, uncertain.

Make the most of what you have now, and afterwards, make the most of that too.
