To keep a chair by the window

1. As a place to read. This way, you enjoy sunlight without having to worry about allergies acting up as you read.
2. Live entertainment. Whether it be birds chirping or the neighborhood children playing, something interesting is sure to be happening outside the window.
3. For your cat. A comfortable spot in the sun is perfect for your feline. Though beware if you have a bird feeder outside the window: your cat may bump its head on the glass in an attempt to get the birds.
4. So you can rest. The house is quiet for the moment as you sit before the window. Late afternoon light shines through the sheer curtain and leaves a gentle warmth on your cheek. With a contented sigh, you close your eyes.
5. To enjoy a storm. Outside, lightening flashes and thunder roars. The wind throws dozens of raindrops at your window, which then slide down the glass. From your seat, you lift a warm mug of hot chocolate to your lips.
6. A puppet show. The sun is low in the sky, its light shining through the window and onto the far wall. From your seat, you watch as two giggling children lift their hands up and make shadow puppets. Or perhaps it is earlier in the day...
The two children stand outside and hold homemade puppets. From inside, you watch as they kneel down and disappear from sight. Then you see the puppets appear in the window, and watch as a improvised play is performed.
7. As a place to write. You glance outside, then look at your story and begin to write.
8. A place to think. A gentle breeze causes the flowers in the garden to sway. Watching them, the daily concerns fade from your mind. Taking your time, you use the opportunity to think of all the things you've been putting off for a moment such as now.
9. So you can socialize. Your friends enjoy the conversations that are held by the window. That's why you have many places to sit near the garden window.
10. So you can eat lunch. After fixing your meal, you sit by the window. The sunlight shines bright and warm. The meals eaten here are always pleasant.
