All Boxed Up.

I never thought that I would be one to start a blog. I didn't think I would have anything to write about. I don't live an earth-shattering life. Then it occurred to me. Nowadays we want life to be extraordinary. We want our lives to play out like the movies, with car chases, whirlwind love affairs, and all those other things that just don't happen in day to day life. We've become dissatisfied and we always want more.  So I have decided that we need to celebrate the Mundane. Maybe if we see how extraordinary life is already, maybe we can learn to be happier with what we have. So Here it is. This is where I shall ramble about the little things in life.   I hope you enjoy what you read and I also  hope that what I write helps to open your eyes to the Extraordinary World of the Mundane. 

This is something that came to me at midnight tonight as I was enjoying a nice cup of tea and thinking about where my life has taken me thus far. 

 The Significance of Boxes

Have you ever stopped to think about the significant role that boxes play in our lives. They give us a place to keep those things that we can't stand to see but also can't bear to part with. Boxes are safe houses for our memories. They give us the assurance that our memories are real, but also the comfort of not facing those reminders of life's darkest moments. Boxes guard us from daily heartbreak. They protect us, while also understanding that sometimes we need to face our heartbreak, that's why boxes can be opened. But we can rest assured that when we have had our fill of pain, that the trusty box will once again seal it all away and stand guard until we need to face it again. There are many times in life that memories are too painful to face, but we know that we could never forgive ourselves if we tossed them away. We have all made this mistake. When we first encounter that pain we become impulsive and want to push it away forever, then as time passes we realize our mistake and wish with all our might that we could somehow retrieve those reminders. We learn from those mistakes and when heartbreak rears it's ugly head once again, we look to the ever faithful box to save us from making such rash mistakes and to protect us from painful memories until we are ready to face them once more. So let us raise our glasses to the box. The unsung hero of the Mundane
