I arrived home from London to one of my boys coughing and isolating in the basement with a case of covid. UGH! Stupid virus. I hope you feel better soon. Day 5 seems to be at least a turning point for many. Let's hope that happens for you too. Love the photo of your boxes and the thoughts about messiness. Isn't that what boxes ultimately do...let us know that we are still oh, so messy!

When I moved, I had the pleasure of leaving behind what I didn't take & having an estate sale. That which was not purchased was taken by still another company. I still have too much stuff, but it did help. I love "more<br />all than in wisdom we'd allow". In those tired days, it just finally must seem easier to say "yes". The prompt certainly fit you right now, didn't it? May your new year be bright and healthy!

Then at least I could say I hung out with special people...ah well, I'm glad you're on the mend and I love what you did with your box-inspired poem. I also love your line about your "Decision and Discernment muscles" fatiguing. I've been trying to declutter a bit and it's exhausting. Doing it on a timeline while moving and also during the holidays is intimidating to say the least!

Your poem does seem to disintegrate the way you described your "Decision and Discernment muscles" flagging. But that's what makes it so spot on.

I haven't had C19, but I had a bivalent booster and a flu shot the same day this week, so I'm sluggish in solidarity over here. <br /><br />Also, since we moved in October, your poem is WAY too relatable, Cousin!

I am IMPRESSED with the complexity of Carroll's box form and the efforts of the Poetry Sisters with this prompt. Can't wait to try my hand!<br /><br />Sometimes I think there's great relief when life upends our carefully manicured plans. I'm sorry it was COVID that stopped yours. Hope you bounce back soon!
