Viral Happiness

(A living history of happy memories)

Written by Jay C. Rehak and others.

Written March 17, 2020   When I was a boy, probably about five,
I wanted to build things.  This is a picture of me building my first house.
I remember being very proud of the work I did on that house, mostly
because I remember my father smiling in admiration at me when I
showed it to him.  Later on, whenever I would get a little down on
myself for not having accomplished as much as I would have liked,
I would remember how proud my dad was of me for building that house.
That is my happy memory of the day.  

Now, I invite you, the reader, to consider sharing a short, happy
memory (maybe a picture, too) from your childhood or later. Send
your story to me along with a picture if you'd like, and
I'll post it on this page. jaycrehak@gmail.com (or you can post your
story in the comment section below. (or a joke - clean, of course)
You can revisit the page while the world is out on this extended
break, and read the happy stories of others, and
probably a few more of my own.

Here's me, 58 years later from the earlier picture.  To my left is my lovely wife, Susan Salidor.  She makes me happy, through her music, love and support.
