You never judge a day by the weather!
I've got to confess I'm a pragmatic optimist myself.
Happiness is like a kiss, in order to get any good out of it, you have to give it to someone else.
How you see your future is much more important that what has happened in your past.
You are the most influential person you will talk to all day.
When there is hope in the future, there is power in the present, and since hope is the foundational quality of all change, there is considerable reason to be excited.
