Turn your clouds about

The first Monday of the new year can be a bit of a downer, getting back to normal after the holidays, but here's some excellent advice from Ellen Thorneycroft Fowler:

Though outwardly a gloomy shroud,
The inner half of every cloud
Is bright and shining:
I therefore turn my clouds about
And always wear them inside out
To show the lining.

By Ellen Thorneycroft Fowler (the Hon. Mrs. Alfred Felkin), taken from Harry Golding's book Verses For Children
