What does NOT cheer me up is doom-and-gloom news, including some unasked-for news alerts on my phone I’d like to block.
Done.
Taking action cheers me up, too, and so does sharing photos with you.












National Simplicity Day and Cow Appreciation Day are both cheering me up, here and now.
Music cheers me up and here’s some great music from somebody with different colored eyes:

Intriguing and cheering comment, my friend!
It’s hard to believe that eight years ago in July I was starting chemo. I have a pair of red shoes and I would wear them, and dance the blues, when I needed a little extra cheer.
It cheers me up immeasurably that you’re here, Chris.
I think it does cheer me up to read your posts and to read the comments you receive. There’s something about recognizing we have common needs, fears, concerns and struggles that gives me a little strength, which cheers me. I could use a couple of days to just be quiet, read and reflect…that would go a long way in cheering me about now. 🙂
Wonderful people like you, Debra, always cheer me up.
kind gestures and words, animals, smiles, children, friends, family, the return of the sun, the trees, and flamin’ hot Cheetos.
All those things cheer me up, beth, except the flamin’ hot Cheetos (which I guess I should try!)
for some reason, they always make me smile, just thinking of them )
Music cheers me up
My partner of almost 23 wonderful years, music, and Ann’s blog cheer me up
Your reply completely cheered me up! 🙏
