The Value of Work

Yesterday afternoon I ironed. This is something I try to avoid even when I'm feeling well, but after a week spent lying around doing nothing, it felt fantastic to accomplish something! I feel so good about myself! I did something useful!

I guess you just can't underestimate the personal benefits of a simple task well executed. And, when you combine it with watching a good movie (Water for Elephants),  it really turned out to be a very pleasant afternoon!
