My outdoor lounge chair broke a couple weeks ago. It is funny that I have not used it for probably over a year because I never felt I needed it since I have other outdoor chairs. So when it was broken I thought, oh okay. I can remove one more thing to make the backyard look cleaner. I do want to do de-clutter and practice almost- minimalism.
It is a quiet night tonight. It is strange though because it rained a little in the daytime which was very unusual at this time of the year. I have not felt quiet like this for a while. For the first time in a couple years I felt a little relaxed and felt I have some time to walk out to my backyard and just to look around at everything there thinking nothing. All of sudden, I felt that I needed to lie down on a lounge chair at the moment to really enjoy the night and listen to the barking transmitting through the thickness of the darkness from the sealions out on the wharf. But I looked around there was nothing available. I thought about just to sit on a regular chair, but, no, it won't do the job. I just realized that functions can not be combined sometimes. I went back inside and lied down on a daybed behind the glass door so I could still look out.
It is so strange that everything looks so different just from this side of the door.
