I have chosen to enjoy "vegetables". They are necessary in life, and enjoying them makes life in general much more enjoyable. Like today, yesterday and the day before, I had to mow down a huge amount of very tall grass using only a 13" weed whacker. Everyone thought I was crazy, but who else was going to do the job? It had to be done, and that was the only tool available for the job, so I did it. And in doing it, I made myself sore and tired, but I also made it fun by appreciating that slow and steady wins the race, that it was getting me out of the house, that I would only have to do it once, and that it's actually kind of fun to use a weed whacker... it's all about how you frame things in life. Positive frame = much more pleasure and success.
