A MATTER OF PERSPECTIVE...

I guess it doesn't matter where you live,

or how you view the world,
or what you do for a living,
well...that is, unless you are a "gazillionaire"
The immediacy of "Chores" continually surfaces in our lives.

It's a curious little concept...

for it's just a matter of one's perspective

as to whether the chore is a positive or a negative task.

For us...actually, just Scott...on our Illinois trip...

it involved scraping,

sanding,
priming,
and painting

outdoor window sills, trim, and garage door panels...

readying the place for the onslaught of cold, wind, and snow.

For me...

there was no scraping or priming involved...

Just a bit of lead free "efforting" in my sketchbook

one Illinois summery sunny afternoon.

Looking back on the day...I think both our painting efforts

turned out just the way they should have....
living proof that...

it's true

the results of chores...

just like the results of life...

are determined by a simple matter of one's perspective.

Oooh, yea...

and when the going gets tedious

it doesn't hurt if you "whistle while you work" a bit!

(A nice cold Corona with lime works "magic" too!) LOL
