I wrote a whole post bitching about housework, but I'll spare you the agony.
Instead of posting my housework complaints, I'll just post this little saucer of goodies I prepared for myself as a reward / naughty meal after hours of housekeeping:
Lemon cream wafer biscuits, thin dark chocolate Reese's peanut butter cups, blueberries, hot tamales, mini peanut butter M&Ms, peppermint patty, red hots, and a chocolate brownie flax seed muffin with peanut butter on top.
I am grateful for having so many goodies, courtesy of my wife, along with my vintage dinerware. I love the colors and shapes all together, and the super dark french press coffee I enjoyed with it along with peppermint mocha creamer.
While I'm not yet feeling certain that my housework efforts were worth the time and energy, this pretty, colorful photograph makes me feel like I did something worthwhile.
Honestly, the blueberries and muffin were the best parts of my tiny treat platter. I could have done without all the candy, but the arrangement and visual appeal of it sending me such a decadent message of abundance did provide extra satisfaction, and fed me spiritually with its cuteness, visual interest, and textured joyful variety.
