Pride Beyond Preferences

“Is vacuuming this place like tending to your little Zen garden?”

I knew exactly what the member meant as I carefully painted the next rectangle on the gym floor with the shop-vac. I actually appreciated the question. Heck, I even envied that level of Zen contentment. After all, it very well could be my happy routine. I just don’t look at vacuuming the gym that way.

I hate vacuuming.

Of course, it’d be a waste of Internet mega-bits if my preferences about cleaning were the inspiration for this article. Instead, what’s important is the notion that there’s great importance in our lives for doing not just the things we enjoy well, but the things that need to be done well, also.

I don’t enjoy vacuuming, but it’s better for everyone if I pretend that I do for a few minutes each day.
