I am trying to get back to writing daily but it’s not going well. I’ve been Covid-free for a couple of weeks now, but I’m having a hard time getting my routine back, such as it was. Some days, I want to write but can’t think of anything to say. This morning, the subject of “why” came up a few times. So, here goes:

…

Why can’t they make packaging easy to open? Some people have arthritis in their hands, like me. It’s not terribly bad – yet – but I still struggle to get things open. And then I lose my patience and want to chuck it out the window!

Why aren’t public restroom doors automatic? It defeats the purpose of hand washing if you have to touch the nasty dirty door handle. I always use the paper towel I dried my hands with to open the door, but then I’m stuck with the paper towel because the trash can is rarely close to the door. Ugh.

Speaking of paper towels… Why are the paper towel dispensers so far from the sink? I am disabled and I use 2 crutches. I cannot walk without them. I have to be extra cautious about wet floors because if one of my crutch tips hits a wet spot, then I’m down for the count. I don’t especially want to fall on my face. So if the dispenser isn’t close to the sink, people drip water across the floor, making a mess for me to fall in. Surely I am not the only one who worries about this.

Why do people give God credit for everything good that happens? If a person passes a difficult test, for example, they give God credit for it. Why? God didn’t do the work. He didn’t study for the test. Why does God get credit for the good things but doesn’t get the blame when someone is killed in an accident or when someone is the victim of murder?

Why do people get so worked up about stupid memes? I mean, I know that people have different perspectives; perspectives that are based on their own life experiences. But why get so worked up? If you don’t like something you see, then keep scrolling, delete it, unfollow it, or whatever works. Don’t comment, just move on because the person who posted it has a different perspective based on his or her own life experiences.

What are your thoughts? Let’s discuss…but in a friendly manner. Any rude or nasty comments will be deleted because…this is my blog, not yours.
