The article "A Rocker For All Ages" talks about family, it was released by Arleen M. Kaptur.
Rcoking chairs have survived the test of many generations and a million sleepless nights. They come in fine wood, soft supple upholstery and even woven and painted. Yes, they all, each and every one of them, find a way into someone's memory, a plesant moment of the past, and a safe refuge for the fuutre.
Rocking cahirs have rocked new moms with day-old babies, healed broken hearts and wounded pride, and then eased the pains of getting old. Whether you place a rocking chair on the back porch, front porch, near a fireplace, or really anywhere in your home, it will inevitably find its way into the hearts of everyone who lvies there. It will become the place where a day's frustrations are soothed, plans are made and golas dreamed about. Aw, and the stories that have been related by somebody as they gnetly rock to the rhythm of peace and tranquility.
A person just cannot stay angry and uptight while they rock - its probably great scientific principle, but tensions are dissiptaed and anger is subsided. You may start our vigorously rocking, but soon the proper motion is attained to bring spirits back and bring life to the right mode - relaxed and peaceful.
Walls of resistance don't stand a chance when the matter is discussed while rocking and possible arguments lose their sting. You see, rockers are not made for just guys or just women, they are for anyone who watns to take a respite from daily turmoils and leisurely return to a better frame of mind. A person's religious or political affiliations can be discussed but never argues, and whlie you may or may not see the other person's point of view, while rocking, they are entitled to their thoughts. These fine pieces of furniture neevr really die. They will just nestle themsleves into future generations and rock sleepy babies, feverish children, exuberant teen-agers and wise parents and grandparents.
The really wrinkles of a really bad day are always neatly ironed and laid to rest for a while, while rcoking. Smiles come easily and even laughter fnids its way to the surface. Conversaitons can utilize words or not, depending on the rocker's mood. Sometimes just a nod of the head will suffice. History knows the wisdom of a rocking chair, and the arms of each chiar have been caressed and held onto for dear life. Destiny waits in the wings for the right opportunity to make use of the splenidd things that happen when somebody rocks in a rocking chair. The world would probably be a better place for everyone if only our world leaders could discuss matters while rocking and fine relationships might develop and be perpetuated with a handshake and a nod -while rocking. Oh, if you're lucky enough to have one with a gentle "squeak" - it's just a wonderful "extra." ENJOY!
