There are only certain circumstances under which boxes are handy. Those would be for mailing something or storing something. However, boxes are not to be used for trying to make yourself what you are not. They are also not be used by others who try to make you what you are not. It is bad enough when others are trying to put you in a box, but when you are doing to yourself.....well now....why the heck are you doing that? As a people, we should never see ourselves as being boxed into anything that does not make us feel good about being who we are. We are changing beings from birth to death. We change physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually as we walk our "journey." Some of those changes are life shattering and some we barely notice. Boxes are so restricting...goodness.... thinking about being restricted by others or, worse yet, myself gives me the "heebie jeebies." And yes, I have allowed both to happen...

Have you taken a moment to give thanks to your Higher Power today?

I thank God:
- for helping me gain wisdom from being boxed in by myself or some else
- for giving me a healthy body
- for helping me see life in all of its many colors and shades
- for heat to cook my food
- for not forgetting about me

I hope all of you are having a great Tuesday!
