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 can I say? You're all so amazing, dealing with your own boxes and still finding time to give me a leg up to those nasty top frightening boxes. Thank you.

    Hang on Bad Fairy!  My Mac box has been 'closed' for the past few days and I missed your post.  This was probably because we have been trying to keep the lids on our respective boxes from which the contents have been threatening to explode.  You will be pleased to know that we have a moment of calm just now and the boxes are coping again.  

    Here is my advice - which we will try out, if you promise to as well.  You need to open a new 'beauty box.'  This box is for all the beautiful things you experience now - a flower, the light on the landscape, the song of a bird.  You really need to look and listen.  What I am hoping is that it will still those restless boxes.  

    Love to you, Mr BF and JBFs.

    Buzzie, that's a lovely idea, a 'beauty box.'  I've added one to the pile, an extra large one at that but this is an open box for all to share.

    To start it off I'm going to add the billowing poppies in my garden and watching the baby blue tits being taught to hunt for food on the red hot poker flowers.

    I hope your box lids stay firmly placed for as long as possible.
