‘I’m not absolutely certain of the facts, but I rather fancy it’s Shakespeare who says that it’s always just when a fellow is feeling particularly braced with things in general that Fate sneaks up behind him with the bit of lead piping.’
– P G Wodehouse
So very true.

Fortunately the converse also applies: when you’re being set upon by the lead pipe, fate can step up with a little something to return you to that braced with things feeling.
