Anniversary Celebrations
My boyfriend and I have an interesting history. In March 2022, I thought I was stuck in a bad situationship. I was having an off day and I decided to stop at a convenience store to pick up a package I ordered. A young man, a counter clerk, said “hi” to me. He drew me from the dark cocoon I was wrapped in. His smile cheered me up. I went back to the store a few times and that young man kept reaching out, chatting. I was in denial about the situationship I was in, I wanted to save whatever that was, and stopped going back to the store.

Teaching Others About the Happiness Box Project
Since making my Happiness Box Project Initiative public in May 2018, I’ve received a few e-mails asking me questions about how I came up with the project, and some ask me if I could teach them. Some have been teachers in foreign, war-torn countries inquiring, about ways to help their trouble students overcome PTSD. My project began in response to PTSD, and I was happy that after a few years working on this project privately it was reaching others who had a need; the stories tore at my heartstrings, of course, I would work with them via e-mail or Skype.

Collecting Happy Moments in 2017
After I opened my happiness jar on 1 January 2017, I knew I wanted to keep a happiness box for 2017. The jar only lasted me for three months; I hoped a box would hold a whole year, and I would have a complete project to open on 1 January 2018. With a daily dedication to my box, I managed not to overfill my happiness box. I felt quite proud on New Year's Eve and could not wait to see moments that made me happy in 2017.
