Drink From a Half Full Glass

For a healthier, longer life be an optimist:

Those who reported high levels of optimism had a 55 percent lower risk of death from all causes and a 23 percent lower risk of cardiovascular death than people who reported high levels of pessimism. The protective effect of being optimistic seemed to offer stronger protection against all-cause death for men than for women.
So, if you are on the losing side of tomorrow's US elections, find some bit of blue sky to focus on and begin or continue to work towards that better future.
