AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHH. Hmm, that feels a bit better.

Someone has upended the special storage boxes in my head. The ones that I file things away in until I’m ready to deal with them. I’ve gone back over the past few weeks and can’t recall doing any spectacular gymnastics or other twizzly stuff that might have inadvertently scattered their contents everywhere, so why have they all got muddled up?

It’s very frustrating. The boxes were doing a really good job of keeping my thoughts and feelings in their place and now I’ve got to start again putting it all away. Maybe I’ve overloaded some of them and they just burst? Actually, if I’m honest, I’ve probably got lazy and just been cramming things in, sitting on the lids in the hope that they’d hold together.

Now there’s no other option than to start the big clean up …. in reinforced boxes!

The Anger Box - anger at this stupid disease.

The Guilt Box - feelings of guilt because of how it affects everyone around me.

The Sadness Box - sadness at the shadows cancer casts over so many lives.

The Frustration Box - frustration with everything …when the mood takes me.

The Scared Box - this new life is scary.

On a brighter note, when the above boxes are sorted then I can indulge in dipping into the happier boxes. The memory box, the laughter box, the Mr Bad Fairy box, the Junior Bad Fairy box, the embarrassing moment box, the friends box and the giggle ‘til you cry box.

Wish me luck!

    What about the happy box?  The one where you pack away all the happy moments during this long difficult journey.  I bet you have a few of those!

    John and I had a happy moment today when we strolled through the beautiful trees in the New Forest, listened to the birdsong and looked at the sun through the trees.  I've just been packing it away carefully in tissue paper so I can look back on it whenever I want to.

    Good luck with tidying up those boxes!

    Well I'm working on a compost bin (what do you expect from a frustrated gardener !). This is tucked away in the recesses and every now & again the lid is popped off (it's one of those plastic jobs) and anything bad / unwanted is shoved in & the lid slammed back on for it to rot down and hopefuly. germinate some good, positive thoughts.

    BF- you should also have your bubbles packed in a box in there, full of little pearly bubbles bursting to get out and keep the bad boxes away. If they get upended again these will float around and banish the baddies away.

    Take care and good luck wished your way. Jewels x

    What a great blog - it brings a whole new meaning to 'keeping a lid on it'. I think many of us try to cram the nasties into their box and shut them away, without sorting them out a bit first. I guess its probably because it's so hard to do ...

    Good luck with the sorting and enjoy the lovely happy boxes. Val X
