      My pup looooves to be squished. Never had a dog like that before but I sometimes shimmy her into a cat bed and she’s happy as a clam.

    Play guitar. Ride a horse. Ride a motorcycle. Play frisbee with my dog. Read a book.

    Like the other reply, the little things are big things.

    I hope you can feel better, friend.

    Get out into nature.

    Watch a favorite show or movie.

    Make something.

    Pets.

    Play games.

    Eat a favorite food.

    The little things can carry you through life.

    I grab one or two of my cats and get to cuddling. I play ARK survival evolved, too. I love that game. I also go thrifting, found a VCR and a Nintendo 64 controller today. I’m watching Forrest Gump on the VCR it right now.

      The advantage of this is it keeps paying off even years later.

      We put googly eyes on an oscillating fan (among many other things) at the beginning of the pandemic and they still make me giggle every time I see them.

      One time, at band camp in college, for April Fool’s, someone placed a Ton of sheets of adhesive googly eyes on the bulletin boards around campus.

      They didn’t stick them on anything, they just made a bunch of little slips of eyes available and let the magic happen.

    I have a picture of a cartoon cheerleader on my desk. She’s always cheering me on. It feels good to be encouraged and supported. I’ve been wanting to get a cheerleader Barbie for some time now but I haven’t found ones with normal sized heads.

    I also have birthday candles and every once in a while I’ll buy a piece of cake and blow a candle out, to celebrate everything that I’ve done.

      I have a little collection of car critters that I keep on rotation, all with pun names.

      Just one out at a time, I don’t like the clutter, but when I feel sad, I’ll sort through a few and put 'em on the spot on my dash.

      I’ve given out more than a few to people when they’ve needed them more than me, like my little pa-car-isu to the girl who was stressed out about getting her blood drawn, or my cArcanine to a boy who was having trouble waiting quietly with his mom and baby brother.
