Day 3391: National Reach As High As You Can Day

On National Reach As High As You Can Day, I continue to have trouble reaching many of the shelves in our cabinets.

I swear this place was designed by very tall people.

As they say, a man’s reach should exceed his grasp, and I sometimes have to ask my man to grasp and retrieve groceries that he puts away out of my reach.

Here’s an explanation of National Reach As High As You Can Day:

I wish I could reach high into that paragraph and change the comma between “ways” and “however” to a semi-colon, but that change exceeds my grasp.

Now I need to reach as high as I can into the images stored on my iPhone, hoping to reach you with these:

On this multi-faceted day, I also want to reach out to my ex-spouse, who reads this blog. Hi, Leon!

I’m reaching way back in time to retrieve “Reach Out Of The Darkness” by Friend & Lover:

Gratitude is never out of reach, so thanks to all who help me reach my goal of blogging every day, including YOU!

Day 3266: PLEASE NO ______

Before the pandemic hit, I made this button for a patient (who was dealing with a judgmental family member) and for myself:

.

Yesterday, I asked this question on Twitter:

I was pleased to see that people had many responses, including

  • lies,
  • gun violence,
  • racism,
  • misogynists,
  • homophobes,
  • excuses,
  • hate,
  • judgment,
  • disrespect,
  • wars,
  • injustice,
  • stupidity,
  • bullies, and
  • beets.

Some people replied that their button would simply say “PLEASE NO.” I can definitely relate to that, especially when I’m feeling so overwhelmed I have trouble pleasing anyone.

It’s occurring to me, here and now, that the button could also read “PLEASE NO ONE MORE THAN YOURSELF.”

Please no applause until the end, as I share my other images for today.

Please no lager for me; I don’t drink alcohol.

Please no worries about my sharing more relevant theme songs for these times. Here’s “It’s the End of World as We Know It” by R.E.M. …

… and “I Got it From Agnes” by Tom Lehrer.

Please no need to leave a comment, but I’ll be pleased if you do.

Please no endings without gratitude for all, including YOU!
