Cheer yourself (up on the cheap)

On Sunday we woke up to very dull skies, and so headed over to the Columbia Road flower market in the East End. What an easy and cheap way to lift the spirits, wandering around admiring all the beautiful bright flowers! And is there an easier or more frugal way to cheer yourself up and rid yourself of the winter blues than taking home a bunch of lovely flowers for your mantlepiece? I think not.
What’s your favourite way to cheer yourself up on the cheap?

Right now, it’s snowing a lot in DC, so my happiness is waking up and making Mexican hot chocolate, with whole milk and cinnamon, and drinking it while watching my neighbors dig their cars out.
You must go and visit the Broadway Market in E8 on a Saturday, all manner of nice thing to see and eat. Hb:~}
My favorite way to cheer up is to be greeted by two purring cats on my bed who are grateful that they are my best friends. Not only that, I am greeted with kisses on the face and rubs on the legs that make my day.
I like to brew a cup of coffee, get a book, and find some sunlight. Sit in the sun until it soaks through your skin and makes you smile. You can’t help but smile when you are sitting in the direct rays of the sun.
