Great list – the only one I’d change is #99 – it should read “Whenever there is something to celebrate, make sure it gets celebrated!”

Wear cute underwear? I think that is a great! I never thought about the fact that your underwear could say so much about you. So many brands make cute kinds now with monkeys or bananas. I am all about this!

Petting my dogs always makes me happy. Also, eating chocolate.

none of these helped. I don’t think anything can cheer me up. I’ve tried everything and search five different search engines and went to almost every website, plus youtube. I even went to lolcats and failblog. but it’s a cool list.
