Says Who?

Yesterday afternoon I was cleaning out the linen closet, putting away groceries, dusting, etc. It was time to think about getting dinner going and I thought I'll try to get the laundry folded and then maybe I can rest for a minute. I looked out the laundry room window and saw this....

Who says we are smarter than the four-legged creatures? This vagrant cat just passing through has the right idea. This is what he was enjoying from his vantage point while I was slaving away in the house!

I feel some changes coming in my life. We have had this chaise lounge for about 3 years and I don't think I've ever just gone out there and enjoyed a moment midday while passing through a busy day. I have always thought of our outdoor furniture as visual cues to chill out...that largely go unheeded. But today I will go out and take a break and enjoy something new. I hope you can do the same. Rushing through living to try to keep up with a busy schedule is kind of a shame really.


Since this cat inspired me this week I have decided to link into The Inspired Room today as Melissa is calling for posts about what inspires us. Why don't you link up too? What inspired you this week?
