The Happiness Port Project

Starting now, write and create joy and gratitude each day.

ince starting my Happiness Box Project in 2016, year after year it has helped me grow into a more positive person. Not everyday is good, but with gratitude, there is good hidden in bad days. Each new year when I open my box, I feel the joy as I read the notes, and continue to feel that joy and gratitude as I scrapbook the notes and photos.

When the COVID-19 quarantine started, I fell back on my Happiness Box Project. Now, more than ever, was the time for such a project. Day by day, I continue to write and photograph the silver linings of such a dark period. While I still feel anxiety, I have the help of my project and a loving community that helps.

Starting today (27 March 2020), I'm running an activity that will mirror the concept of my Happiness Box Project. Instead of a box, you will use your portfolio to house notes, poems, stories, photos, you name it.

Some rules and guidelines:

1 This activity will run from 27 March 2020 until 31 May 2020.

2 You must post an entry or item each day in the message forum.

3 I don't care if the entry is a note, poem, story. Photos or drawings are optional, but if you want to include them or anything else creative with your writing, feel free to.

4 Each Thursday, post something that you are thankful or grateful for. This will be a separate "Thankful Thursday" challenge that won't be related to your note, poem, or story that day.

Anyone who completes all sixty-four days will get an awardicon on the item and 5,000 GPs. Anyone who completes 30 days will get a Happiness Port merit badge.
