Finding Zen in the small things?

As I was taking out the recycling this morning (we have a small recycling waste basket that we carry to the big recycling bin outside once full) I was struck by the feeling of finding Zen in the small things - specifically what I would call "just pottering about" the house and doing things like cleaning, emptying the dish washer, taking out the rubbish to the bin etc

I'm sure i've read this somewhere, or more accurately that i've heard it (I use Audiobooks as a rule). Finding Zen and simple happiness in just doing the small stuff rather than only when in Zazen.

Can anyone add to this please? Is this something, or have I just made it up?
