I love Les' optimism.
I have learned from her that if something doesn't happen, then it probably wasn't meant to be.
If you're the last car that doesn't make it through the light, at least you are the first car that gets to go when it turns green.
And when you feel really nasty because you drank too much the night before, look forward to the next morning, when you'll feel great (by comparison at least--and this is assuming you don't need two days to recover from a night of heavy drinking)!
