Some Things are Better in a Box

I like squares. I love right angles. I prefer definition and boundaries with the flexibility to expand and grow. I do not like to be closed off and boxed in, but there are some things I greatly prefer to have very well defined, clean cut boundaries and definitions like

• Contract terms
• Date and place of an event, and starting on time
• Paid time off
• When a paycheck arrives and how much it will be
• Cost of service or product before making a purchase
• Picture frames
• Yards, flower beds, and fences
• Shoveled sidewalks
• Quilt blocks
• Furniture arrangements
• Tables
• Bulk items
• Presents
• Responsibilities in work or church
• Rules of a game or a situation
• Items packed for moving

Maybe I box myself in. Maybe I feel safest when I have a starting line and a goal in mind. When someone says "the sky's the limit" I want to know most of the possibilities and challenges by name before I start reaching. I really do like right angles and squares.
