Amira had a difficult day. Her aunt gave her a small green notebook. She said: "Tonight, before you sleep, write three things. Three things that went well today. And why."
Amira almost laughed. It did not feel like a good day.
But she thought. The bus was on time. The soup was good. A friend sent a funny message. She wrote all three, and why.
The next day, Amira looked for good things during the day. She noticed more small, nice moments.
Every night, she wrote three things. Slowly, her days felt a little better.
