Sit......

are you frantic right now? trying to get that last swim at the beach?
make it to the last summer garage sales?
well.........let's take a sec. and sit.......
at least, that's what I'm doing.......it won't last long, but this "new to me" leather chair my brother in law just gave us fits mighty fine in our living room......and it's beckoning me to sit.
besides, I'm pondering thoughts inside me that have never surfaced before.....
and thus, my "new" thinking chair I believe
~and a special thank you for all the lovely and thoughtful comments about Ukiah Samson~

  1. I'm doing a lot of catching up on your blog. Your autumn pictures are beautiful and reminds me of what is ahead. I love autumn! I read the story about your beautiful dog and cried. He was so gorgeous and LOOKED so gentle. And this post....yes, sometimes we do just need to sit down and "think." You always leave me inspired and thoughtful!

  3. Every day I "sit aside" time to ponder. Too many people are too frantic and their lives full of chaos that could well be depleted, if not actually done away with, should they choose. This is MY life and the only one I'll ever have in this ole body so I choose time for me, everyday. It's one of my gifts to myself and allows time to refresh, renew, recreate and spend time on things of great importance...thinking and pondering.
    Your chair is lovely; make a chair date every day -smile-.

  4. I enjoyed my visit on your blog. The scene here looks so very inviting but I don't sit well. Is it my fanatical urge to clean or my (OCFD) Obsessive Compulsive Flower Disorder? My eight grandchildren might contribute or farm life......? Enjoy your sit, sniff the leather, sip a cup of tea and soak in all the blessings God has for you today.

  5. Come rest with Me, I shall comfort you ... this chair reminds me of the perfect place to have a precious moment with Him ... I have a special chair for my 'chats' & 'pondering'.

    Enjoy ~ TTFN ~Marydon

  8. Your new chair looks lovely in your cozy living room. And yes, it is wonderful to just sit, with no distraction. It truly helps to reduce stress. A little bit of daydreaming never hurts. Especially if it leads to making some dreams come true!

  10. Hello
    Thank you for stopping by and visiting my studio and for the kind comment...I really don't think we have ever met before. I might have posted once on your blog - I am new to blogging, only been doing it for several weeks now. But it was nice to meet you--where in Il?
    Take care
    Blessings

  16. Dear Anne Marie,

    Your home is beautiful, so warm and inviting. The chair is perfect in your living room! I know you will enjoy it.

    I loved the photo of your 'mate', what a sweet and handsome young man you have there. I enjoyed the pun, too!

    Love, Paula
