Finding joy in a sparkling john

In an effort to find happiness in the ever recurring, mundane tasks of motherhood, I have started a monumental task of focusing on "little successes" for my sense of daily accomplishment and validity.

Some days I feel good about myself because I get in a workout, other days, for sitting long enough to read a book to my kids, and on other days, just surviving until bedtime without too many tears.


I often ask myself, "What do I need to do today in order to feel worthwhile and successful (like there's an actual purpose to my existence)?"

Today...it was taking a scrub brush (and chisel) to the disgusting-ness that was the kids bathroom (man...it's been a while...remember?).

It took a little elbow grease but i finally got all the fuzz (aka nasty mold from our disgusting local water) out of the john.

(I'm exaggerating, of course...the fuzz actually comes off fairly easily.)

I just love it when my toilet is sparkly.  :)  Makes me all giddy happy!



The kids and I left the house for a few hours and came home to the permeating scent of Lysol and toilet bowl cleaner.

I took a deep breath....ahhhh.....the smell of success!

I love it!


What kinds of "little things" make you  feel worthwhile and happy?
