(Edt: Done with topic, found what I needed, can be locked.)
I was trying to write about something, and got stuck on a reference.
If you get taxed all year, then in April get a tax refund, but you moan complain and grumble anyway and say it doesn't matter blah blah, some might say that you can't see the silver lining in a gray cloud or ____________ (another expression? silver lining in a gray cloud technically works, but feels awkward and out of place)
If you bowl 9 strikes, then 2 strikes, and on the last ball of the last frame you hit 9 pins... and get a 299, 1 short of a perfect game, and instead of "Damn!" your reply is "Woo! I scored a 299!" then some might say that you can/can't _____________?
And by "Woo!" I don't mean "Oh well... I still got a 299?" That would be like, looking on the bright side of it. I'm referring to being unable to see the bad at all. As in, you would be THRILLED about the 299, and the thought of missing a perfect game would not only NOT irk you, but wouldn't even cross your mind as being bad.
