Because I Can...I Will


Because I CAN go outside; I will.  I will do so with respect for others; staying physically distant. I will greet who I see, but I will stay physically distant.

 Because I CAN go grocery shopping; I will.  I will do so with respect for others and CAN protect them by wearing a facial covering and staying physically distant.  I CAN and I WILL show my respect and thanks to those who work there with works and action.

 Because I CAN work from home; I will.  I will show consideration for my co-workers by checking in with them and doing my best to support them in whatever way I can.

 Because I CAN support local busineses; I will.  I will make purchases on line.  I will respect curbside pick up while wearing a facial covering to protect those businesses as well as showing respect for them.

 Because I CAN support frontline workers; I will.  I will listen to their experiences.  I will take their advice.  I will honor their work.  I will support them in new and different ways.  I will show my respect and thanks in responsible ways.

 Because I CAN attend religious services virtually; I will.  I will participate on line; I will pray and sing.  I CAN and WILL support those missions that I believe in and touch my heart and soul.  I will do so responsibly and respectfully.

 Because I CAN help others; I will.  Even while we are physically distance, I CAN do so many things.  There are so many ways I CAN support others and I WILL.  I can call to check on relatives, friends, and even distance acquaintances.  I can text.  I can email.  I can write a letter and mail it.  I CAN offer hope.  I CAN offer friendship.  I CAN offer support.  I CAN console.  I CAN listen.  Because I CAN; I will.

 There are so many things I CAN do, even in this time when what I might usually want to do, I WILL not because I respect, love and care for this planet and the inhabitants of it.  I WILL not let my personal wants endanger the lives of others; because I CAN be a responsible and respectful human.

 What CAN you do?  
What WILL you do?

Not Guilty

The last time I blogged (https://bfthsboringblog.blogspot.com/2023/06/where-do-i-go.html ), this song from "Hair" was going through my head.  Today the above tune, written by George Harrison in 1968, but not officially appearing until George's 1979 solo album "George Harrison" (wonder how he came up with that title) has been running around in my head.  "Not guilty For getting in your way While you're trying to steal the day. Not guilty And I'm not here for the rest, I'm not trying to steal your vest. I am not trying to be smart, I only want what I can get. I'm really sorry for your aging head. But like you heard me said: Not guilty." Doesn't really apply to me...or maybe it does. When I last wrote it was a question of where do I go?  The answer was with my boys on a 5 day/4 night vacation to the Poconos.  (You probably know where if you've read my blog over the years.)  And we had a good time all things considered.  (Read the pr

Please Don't Ask Me...

 ...about the house.  (For clarity:  I am talking about the house that my parents lived in at the Jersey Shore.)  I realize that you mean well.  (Or at least most of you do...if you've read  https://bfthsboringblog.blogspot.com/2023/07/not-guilty.html  you know who I mean.) My mom died a year ago Sunday.  My dad died last Saturday.  I am NOT focused on the house right now.  I am working on organizing a memorial down at the shore later this month.  (Which is turning out to be a lot more complicated than I thought it would be and SHOULD be.)  I am thinking about the graveside service that is scheduled for tomorrow morning.  I planning for the people that might come back to our house afterwards.  (Have no idea how many; so I've ordered some food and have some beverages and think I have enough.  I probably have too much, but that's how I roll.)  I am fielding phone calls and messages from friends and relatives, which I appreciate (if you're reading this Amanda, Linda, Pat

Lowe's LIES

Image
Note:   before you start reading this blog post go back and read my  previous post . It will give you some important information about the BS that I have been dealing with when it comes to getting a new refrigerator and  Lowe's .  First off, let me say if you are my friend or if you are my enemy (I don't have any do I?), if I know you or if I don't know you, let me give you this advice.  NEVER  order an appliance from  Lowe's . Let me say that again  NEVER EVER  ever order an appliance from  Lowe's .  After the debacle that  Lowe's  created on Friday the 16th of June, I reordered the same refrigerator to be delivered to the shore address on Saturday June 17th. I was told that the refrigerator that they could not deliver because they had the wrong town had to be returned and I would be credited. As of this writing that hasn't happened; as of this writing there are two refrigerators with processing charges on my credit card.  However I am ever hopeful an
