accomplishing something

Wednesday is trash day. We have three containers: trash, recycling, and yard waste. We have a lot of foliage that needs to be pruned, trimmed, and cut so I generally make Tuesday my yard work day. It’s good exercise, and once I get started I tend to keep going. I will usually go through two or three thirty minute lectures from The Great Courses on my iPod. When I’m done I feel as if I have accomplished something.

In reality, I would rather be generating income, but short of that I really do feel as if I have accomplished something by the time I’ve finished my yard work, taken out the trash and recycling, and had my shower. It’s a good feeling.
