The Long Arms

This is Digby Pancake. Have you ever wished for something that you couldn’t have?

For me, I wish for back rubs. All of the time. But I can’t reach my back. It’s a major predicament. So I often sit in front of everyone all the time and wait. Wait for them to get the hint. Usually they do.

But Boy Person is probably one of the best back scratchers out there. He pays attention to details. But I have one problem. His arms should be longer.

He says that I should sit closer to him. But I say he needs longer arms. For me to have to get up and move closer to him defeats the purpose of a massage and a back rub. Shouldn’t it be to relax? Not to retract my relaxation mode.

It’s seems like we always want what we can’t have. Isn’t that true?

So many things seem out of reach sometimes. But I wonder if the trick is not to compromise. But perhaps it’s figuring out how to make what we want happen with what we’ve already got.

Adjustments are needed in life. Don’t think life can always be smooth. Easy. And we sometimes have to think and work a little extra harder to make what we want happen.
