There are things that must be done, even if we are not wanting to do them...
Our children have a chore chart they work on every week. Most of the time, they do not like doing them. However, we treat it like a "job" and the kids will get paid for the chores they finish. So they enjoy the cash :)
Here is our daughter on dog "poo" duty! She wasn't too happy about it, and not because she had to put on her dads jacket, mom's hat and boots, and go out in her PJ's. It wasn't even because she had to scoop up that awful stuff. It was because the poo wasn't cooperating with the shovel! It kept falling off...
So when I saw this beautiful sunset and my girl in a bit of a down mood I had to take photos. She willingly allowed me to, but she told me, "I don't want to smile today". Okay honey, no worries, just do what your doing.
Here she is:

| Actually, in these photos she was finished with her job. She was then just shoveling snow out of frustrations. |
