Rewards

Simple rewards are the best.  Unexpected rewards are even better!
This morning I was whining laying in bed, thinking about how the temperature was just right outside for some weeding, and I had 4 plants to put in the ground.  I bought them a week ago, moved them from place to place, forgot to water them twice, revived them, and thought:  It might be nice to have a bit more color at the front of the house.  So, I jumped out of bed, threw on some clothes, grabbed a shovel...(maybe this sounds a little more energetic in my mind than if it was captured on video, but you get the picture), and by 8 AM I was finished with that little project, and I started pulling the OTHER weeds.  I was rewarded.  Among the weeds are my much neglected strawberries.  And there were little flashes of red:  My reward!
