Whenever I've gotten sad over the years about whatever, Dave has given me a hug and said, "Endorphin rush!" I know that physical contact has real mood-boosting powers; there's something so very soothing about that mush of Max and Sabrina's cheeks against mine (and they've both got plenty of cheek to go around).
At night, during bedtime, Sabrina and I trade all kinds of kisses—lash kisses, nose kisses, ear kisses, hair kisses, vacuum cleaner kisses that make us giggle. Max has been a little stingy about doling out kisses lately, but if I keep asking eventually he'll plant one on me. Kisses are something Max had to learn how to do, and I never take them for granted.
What lifts your mood when you're sad?
