"Optimism is truly an intention to create a smile, a favourable outcome, or for some just to see the sunrise!"

That's what Leah Penny told me when I asked her what makes her optimistic.  Leah has the wonderful role of Project Manager - Sustainability and Health at the Western Victoria Primary Health Network.

Leah said, "Most of us can be optimistic given the right opportunities, care, love, and importantly attitude to life. Optimism is truly an intention to create a smile, a favourable outcome, or for some just to see the sunrise!"

The Western Victoria Primary Health Network covers Kaniva which famously declared itself to be Victoria's most optimistic town.
