Look for the Silver Lining

Barb wanted to do an inspirational speech to start off the new year.

In the past, she has often found it difficult to “get through” January.

All the excitement and busyness of Christmas is over.

Long, dark days and cold weather can cause us to hole up in our nice warm homes.

On top of that, our well-intended New Year’s resolutions can be hard to keep, and we might be discouraged with ourselves.

The daily news can be downright depressing.

No wonder January is designated National Mental Health Month.

It’s a perfect time of year to consider that good things can indeed come from bad situations.

Light can be found in our darkest days.

Her speech is 5-7 minutes.
