I've been saying something a lot recently due to my uncanny ability to attract bad "luck" that I think everyone needs to get reminded of...

"Every victory is a victory."

Remember that the next time something doesn't work out and you realize that, "hey the sun's out", or "hey I'm alive", or "hey, I did better on that test than I thought, or "hey, there's one more twix left in the vendy!". Remember and give thanks for the little things.
