💬 Your Success Stories
A high school teacher started a tradition of writing down one happy memory at the end of each week. At first, it felt like a small task, but over time, she realized how powerful it was. One week, she wrote about seeing a student finally grasp a concept they'd struggled with. Another, it was a spontaneous walk in the rain. The memories weren’t dramatic, but they were meaningful. When tough days came, flipping through her notebook reminded her of all the good. It became her personal highlight reel—a private dose of joy whenever she needed it.
