Can I say "I knew we can find a bright side in anything"? Or "I knew there must be a bright side here"? Or something like that? Thanks for the suggestion :-)


Kemper now:
If it translates well, what about:
"Oh. So that's the bright side in all of this."
I don't think 'I was looking for' is that important; I think it adds to the tone rather than the meaning.

To back track, I liked #3.
