That Puffy Chair

Most of us have a favorite chair. My favorite puffy recliner is at my acupuncture place. I try to schedule my appointments so that my favorite chair will be available. I get annoyed when someone else is in the chair. I get over it but I can't help wishing that person would just leave.  It's the softest chair in the place, and it fits me perfectly. Not to wide and just wide enough for my fat butt to feel uncrowded. I look forward to that chair every time I go. It allows me to forget my lot for a moment and just take in a little air.

If I get to the chair first, the chair's value doesn't change just because I got there the fastest. If I mark it as mine and guard it from everyone else, the chair is not affected but I lose the opportunity to share something I value. If I abuse the chair, the chair is damaged and I lose the opportunity to enjoy it again later. 

If I take a deep breath and fall into the chair, letting it's puffy softness welcome me in a giant puffy hug while I exhale my troubles into the air, I get best the chair has to offer. It comforts me and offers me a place to relax my soul and just be.

There are puffy chairs all around: friends you love, activities that build you up, places where your soul is refreshed. Get the best these times and places have to offer. The comfort and joy will come when you relax with them like the favorite puffy chair. 

Peace! lw.
