Build for yourself a strong box,
Fashion each part with care;
When it’s strong as your hand can make it,
Put all your troubles there;
Hide there all thought of your failures,
and each bitter cup that you quaff;
Lock all your heartaches within it,
Then sit on the lid and laugh.Tell no one else its contents,
Never its secrets share;
When you’ve dropped in your care and worry
Keep them forever there;
Hide them from sight completely
That the world will never dream half;
Fasten the strong box securely-
Then sit on the lid and laugh!– Bertha Adams Backus
Our challenge each day is to unwrap ourselves from the “drama” of our lives and move forward boldly. Learn to laugh more!! – especially at our goofy selves.
Today, choose to not share your dramas with others – sharing them only wastes time and brings negative energy into the room. Focus on beauty, hope and productive thoughts — and from this place — you will be energized and others will be energized in return!
Make it a bold day!

Kind of like a “worry doll” – I have a BIG one of those.
