Things can only get better Hi everyone, Could you help me with this idiomatic expression, things can only get better, please? Although the meaning is quite self-explanatory, I'm still not sure how to use it, what kind of context it could be. I guess it can be used as an encouraging comment. Could you give me some examples, please? Thanks in advance!))

If someone's had a bad day, to console them, or help them 'cheer up' you can say this phrase to them. Or see the song: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Things_Can_Only_Get_Better_(D:Ream_song)
