Recliners are not made for the old anymore. You see, I love my recliner! After work, I hit the door, pour a tall glass of sweet tea, then rest my weary bones in my recliner. I watch a bit of TV, chat with Chuck about the days events....... and deflate. The recliner is perfect for unwinding. You can rock gently, or stretch out and put your feet up to take the ache out.
During the week, my recliner is the perfect place for waking up. With my between roast Community coffee, I find an old movie on TV and begin the gentle journey into daybreak. You see, I often get up at 4 AM on my off days because I like the early morning time alone. Time before the alarm clocks go off and Jonas is wild with wonderment. Soon, I find myself with my netbook in my lap, thinking and tapping away at my next entry in my blog.
During the day, my recliner is THE best place to accidentally take a little nappypoo! See, I curl up with my favorite throw, and next thing I know, it is an hour later! Oh, how sweet it is.
The other night, Chuck and I were kicked back, he in one recliner, I in the other. We both had our laptops going and we were playing The Price is Right online with each other. It was fun. A lot of fun. My wise ass kid comes through the house and makes some crack about us being old. If he only knew the simple pleasures of being the owner of a recliner.
You have learned the secret of relaxation that comes with age. It is our secret, don't let those youngsters in on it.
