Even the Name is Comforting

Grandfather Clock. Well, to me it is comforting. My grandfather was my hero. But aside from that personal little nugget, consider how majestic they look. Have you ever owned one? My sister and her husband had one years ago, and I used to love to just sit there with my eyes closed and listen to its slow, methodical "tick tock, tick tock". It was like listening to a slow piece of relaxing music.

I think I fell in love with the grandfather clock when I was a kid and would go to our old library. They had one sitting front-and-center when you walked in. It actually made sitting there doing research for school or gathering information for a term paper very pleasant. As you can see, I consider a grandfather clock to be much more than just a clock. Not only are they stunning and gorgeous, they're acutally comforting.
