Rent funny movies and watch them with him

Once you start laughing, the mighty endorphins start to flow and then the good advice or nice things you say will fall on fertile soil. Otherwise, you'll get the "Debbie Downer" effect (Wah Wahhhhhhh) Laughter therapy really works. It is so simple that many people don't realize it's legitimacy. But it is a proven fact that you remember more information when you are guffawing...something to do with the oxygen intake to the brain.

However, I will amend my suggestion to "go out to the theatre and see a really funny movie". Getting out of the house is probably the number one ingredient to changing your POV. I've just come off a 2 week funk. Getting out of the house was what was instrumental in getting me quirky again. (that and meds and a couple of visits to my awesome therapist and, of course, Critter...who should be canonized. Hmmmmmm St. Critter!) But, laughter is what got the ball rolling.
