My happiest 2006 moment was being contacted by Chicken Soup For The Soul and told my story was being considered for an upcoming issue. I scored a 9.2 out of a 10.0 in the final selection. (My tribute to Rosa Parks)
And even though it didn't get published due to lyric copyright issues (and my refusal to take them out) I didn't dwell on the disappointment, I focused on the fact that it was good enough to be considered.
