Yes! My earliest memory is my Mother rocking me as I had ear aches. I kept a rocking chair in children's bedrooms to rock them and the same chair is now at my Daughter's home. Now, each day I sit on my daughters enclosed porch to take a break and grand kids take turns sitting on my lap for a good rocking along with a song or two. I love rocking and wonder about good affects of it. I think it must be therapeutic (thank you spell check)in some way.
I love rocking chairs and swings as well as anyone, and have since I was a little girl. It is the comforting motion, so relaxing, that I like to daydream in. Also, my computer chair swivels, tilts and rocks, as does my recliner. I have always wanted a glide rocker because they don't need the room for the rocker arms, but the rocker recliner is better....I can and do nap in there once in a while.
I have loved rocking chairs all my life and I have always had one every where I have lived. I got the rocking chair fever from my dad's side of the family. Not only did they have these chairs in their living rooms but on the front porch too. Poppy
I had a little red wooden rocking chair with a cane bottom when I was little (wish I had it now!). And we also had a full-size rocking chair in the living room when I was growing up. After I married, I had a rocking chair to rock my babies in (priceless). Now I have a Lazy Boy rocker/recliner that I don't know how I'd get by without. It is so comfortable to lounge in while watching t.v. Nothing like it for putting my feet up and reclining back a little bit. But I sometimes just sit and rock a little instead when I read or work my Sudoku puzzles. I also have a natural finish wood rocking chair on my front porch that my son gave to me for Mother's Day a few years ago. It was very well built by the Amish. Rocking chairs are a great invention, I think....And God bless you too!
I am still young at 63. I can't imagine myself as old..And Yes,, I like rocking chairs.. The rocking chair is a specialty chair..It's like poetry and needs the proper setting to be defined suitable to he observer.. Some people feel negative and relate to getting old when they think of rocking chairs but I envision sun shine, bright yellow rubber ducklings in wading pools and little laughing children waiting to be rocked while listening to stories.. Life is an experience. We should enjoy all parts of it. We have a choice. Either die young or grow old. I choose to become a grand parent. It's a lovely life. When I decide I am old, I will die. Often we visualize what we have been taught and most often we have been taught negatively. Instead of thinking of the negative side of getting older we should enjoy our life as long as we are able. If we choose beauty it shall be revealed. Last night I fell asleep smiling, thinking about my girls when they were babies. How cute they were. Most recently my Jack Russel Terrier named Mickey..He was just a tiny puppy not long ago. What a cute little thing wobbling about on tiny legs following me all over the house wanting to be picked up. But back to Rocking Chairs. I am the proud father to a 20 year old collage student. She's still daddies baby and when she comes home for a visit I will often rock her to sleep. I also rock my 5 year old grandson and at times my 66 year old girl friend too. Rocking chairs can be tools for bonding with the ones we love and are not to be shunned. Yes, Micky my spoiled little Terrier likes to be rocked too.. So next time you see a rocking chair think about someone you love and how nice it would be to rock them just one more time.. Blessings, Chief.
