Great idea for a thread, Jane! Here are my top 3 mood-elevators...

Driving With Tunes. I love driving in my car. I plug my iPod into the sound system, roll the windows down, and cruise the back roads here in Washington State. We have some of the most inspiring landscapes here...and they always go well with a dose of Pink Floyd, Smashmouth, or maybe even Mozart.

Walk the Dog(s). We have three dogs. A Pug, and Boston Terrier, and a Lhasa Apso-ish mutt. They are all high-strung and basically untrainable, and we love them dearly. Walking them out in the country never fails to lift my spirits.

Bookstore Therapy. I'm almost reluctant to admit this one, because it seems a litte too akin to "shopping". But...I love bookstores. Big ones. Little ones. Yes, I even love the chain stores. Especially the chain stores, because I can get a big cup of Starbuck's, and immerse myself in the smell of coffee and new books. I take a notepad, a pen, and my ipod. It's cheaper than Prozac, less detrimental than alcohol, and works like a charm (for me, anyway).
