Ugly Tasks

Today it was really difficult to get my cleaning groove on, but then again it's never easy. As I was doing things like cleaning the toilet, (one of my least favorites) cleaning my fridge, scrubbing the bathroom floor, etc, etc....I couldn't help but daydream about all of the other women and men out there who were enjoying (ha ha) the same tasks as me. Somehow these lovely tasks just don't get themselves done! I thought to myself what do other people do to reward themselves after they complete these dreaded tasks that make them feel refreshed and ready to go again?

I wanted to do "other" things today like: go to a resale shop to find a hidden treasure for my home, or have lunch at a delicious restaurant with "my guy", or just relax with a good book! Today was a much needed day of "ugly tasks" and I must say I do feel good about getting them done; however I love the things that rejuvenate me. Simple things like cutting leaves and branches from my yard and making them into arrangements.

What things make your life a little sweeter after the "ugly tasks" are done?
