The sun has got his hat on, hip-hip-hooray
The sun has got his hat on, he's coming out today.
Upbeat, cheer, sunny, you say. Yes, indeed. But my point is not only that it's sunny in the summer but that musicals, plays, videos can affect your mood. They can reflect how you are feeling, or they can change how you are feeling.
How about making your own lists of DVDs to borrow from the Library, rent, or even buy, based on categories? That way you will be ready to get what you need when you need it.
Keep it as a running list, and add new ones, suggestions from reviews or friends, and insert some comments.
Make up your own categories, so that when you need a Mood Lifter, for example, you will see a named video right there. What about something with Beautiful Scenery, or something in a specific Foreign Language? How about a Historical time period, a Costume Drama, something with a dose of Fashion? Something that provides Perspective or a Memorable Hero? Or a story that focuses on older people or Aging?
Be prepared for when you're needing some help being sunny or serious.
