I listened to a podcast about why silver medalists are less happy than bronze medalists. It’s because the silver medalist is looking up one spot at what might have been, and the bronze medalist is looking down one spot at what might have been. So here’s something to cheer you: even if your day has been stinky, it’s probably been less so than the day of the people who had to remove a skunk from the courtyard at my place of employment. -Cara Drexler-
