Finishing The Puzzle

Here we go again, I’m back after lurking in the shadows, did anyone see me? I was the one looking all too pleased with myself. I may even been singing a little but the less said about that the better. Its summertime and a glorious one at that, there is almost permanent sunshine which may partly explain my own sunny way.

Life is a jigsaw and I feel I have dug down the back of the sofa finding those pieces that have been missing and leaving the picture incomplete. I don’t have a problem with having an incomplete picture, I know what I think it will look when the missing pieces appear and for the most part that has always kept me satisfied.

Before I continue I know those that know me will say I personally have a few pieces missing and they would be right, but those pieces are my marbles, less said about that the better!

The direction of this post isn’t clear in my head, but isn’t that the case with life in general? We never know what direction we will go in until we are halfway down the path. Back to the jigsaw analogy, too much time is spent staring at the picture on the box and thinking that is the only way the picture can look, it isn’t the case at all. If there is a cloud in the left hand corner it can be removed, it only takes someone else with a different piece that could slot nicely into your picture.

Working together with someone with a similar picture in their mind can turn your half complete jigsaw into something quite exciting, and very different to how it started. It is true that two heads are better than one, so when it comes to something as difficult as completing your jigsaw of life having someone else helping you makes it so much easier, and more enjoyable.

Throw away the box with the ‘perfect’ picture on it, put the pieces in your pocket and carry them with you. You may carry them for a long time before you can start forming a picture that makes you sparkly but remember you can always exchange the pieces with someone else.

It takes patience to complete a difficult puzzle, along the way some of the pieces may not be in the right place but one day they will fit, one sunny day.

Back to skipping in the sunshine for me.


Take care everyone.


Enjoy today, look forward to tomorrow.
