The study looked at how thinking about special moments from high school can make people feel grateful and optimistic during the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants who recalled a special moment felt more grateful, which then made them more optimistic about the future. This shows that remembering happy times from the past can help people feel better about what's happening now and see a brighter future ahead.
