Obviously Christmas is over. But still I need to share this with you. This is my stash of cookie tin boxes. I know. You are jealous. You wish they were yours! I hate having to admit that they come as a set of 3. So the ones still wrapped in plastic have 2 smaller ones inside them. I have used most of the smaller boxes, but some of the big hide more boxes inside them. I am sure you understand how relieved I was when last year the patterns where not my style. Not just "not my style". I thought they were UGLY! So no need to buy more. Unfortunately I started digging through the stack and wouldn't you know it. I came across a few I liked. So, I added anohter 9 boxes to my collection. Well. One day you win. One day you lose! Going with Marie Kondo's philosphy I get to keep them as they "spark joy". They do spark a little guilt, too, I must admit. I wonder what MK has to say about that!
Realizing I was a hoarder was both a shock and a relief. A shock, because nobody wants to have a mental disorder. A relief, because my situation finally had a name. I found people who could relate. Knowing the problem helps solving it. I can step aside and look at the situation from a more neutral point of view. Why am I blogging about it? 2 reasons. 1. Putting my thoughts into words helps me think more clearly. 2. If this helps just one, who is like me, see the light it was more than worth it!
You know very well what MK would say about all those tins!
