Yes, but not just any chair. A patio chair. A chair that’s meant to live outdoors. So you can go out and sit at any moment, without having to bring an indoor chair with you…aware that you’re going to have to lug it back inside afterwards. Which is often enough to squelch the impulse.
So…we borrowed a couple of green plastic patio chairs and it’s one of the smartest things I’ve done in a long time. I now go out and sit at least once a day. Usually without anything in particular to do.
This evening I sat and ate an apple. Watched the sun getting lower in the sky. Noticed the changing light as it shone through the foliage. Listened to the bees buzzing in the wisteria and wondered how they decide it’s time to stop for the day.
You get the idea.
Then this quote from many, many years ago popped into my head: Sometimes I sits and thinks, and sometimes I just sits.
Perfect. I’ll definitely be purchasing patio chairs for keeps!
