Inspiration 149: A Sturdy Chair

 This is our fat cat Gabbi walking up our back driveway. I’m not sure where she has been, and I’m not sure I want to know.  She does look like she is on a mission however….probably on her way to find the food bowl. I like that our cats wander around our backyard without a care in the world. 

There is something charming about back yards. They are places of peace and rest, and somehow serve as a soothing escape from the rest of the world. These are the places where we invite friends to chat and drink adult beverages…or enjoy a banana popsicle on a steaming summer day. We still have a lot of work to do in our backyard – weeds to pull, walkways to create, trees to plant – and yet I love the tranquil nature of our chairs, just sitting there waiting for someone to enjoy the calm.  We find ourselves sitting back here a lot…just relaxing away the frenzy and rush of a busy week.

Where do you go to sit and relax? What does the area around your favorite chair look like? Who do you invite to join you in your corner of quiet? Take time today to nurture the peace in your world…enjoy the many blessings of a sturdy chair!
