Today I was lucky enough to start my day off cleaning up dog throw up... but as I was about to lose my cool as I saw there was yet another stain on the carpet I had over looked, I opened my kitchen window. This made me smile. I have had many apartments, even a townhome along the way, but never a kitchen window. I love my kitchen window. Although my kitchen is small I can still glance outside and see my yard and the trees while I clean the dishes. I don't think I have seen an apartment with a window in the kitchen....actually apartments usually skimp on windows in general, so today I am enjoying all of my nice big windows. I then got to clean the bathrooms, what did I find fun in this? Well, I have two!! This is a good thing on every subject other than cleaning, so I focused on this fact as I cleaned. Then I moved to the back yard to pick up a ridiculous amount of doggie doo that had been un covered by the melting snow. Before I let myself get annoyed at this gross and tedious activity I looked around and remembered that for the first time I had my OWN yard!!! This is what I wanted, and when I am not picking up the dog doo I sure do enjoy letting the dog out the door instead of walking her ALL the time. And Max sure does enjoy having a yard to play in when the weather is nice. So instead of focusing on the nasty job on hand I planned my new patio furniture instead.... much better. So today my new goal for myself is to look for the little things that I love so much. I may not be rich, but when I find a great deal, or some great coupons I get a thrill.... now what rich person would be as excited as I am when I find True Religion jeans half off? It's the little things that can make your day better, and as I get ready to go to work I will try and find all the little things that I love and appreciate. Here's to a great week of work, and a fun weekend filled with Little surprises, good and bad.
