Puzzles ...

Say it over and over in your head ... funny word huh?

Confused? I am. That is the point of a puzzle isn't it? To confuse people. When someone seems puzzled, they seem confused - right? Sometimes they can be so fustrating that it makes you want to pull your hair out!

THEN ... there is a flip side because sometimes puzzles teach you patience. Like those 1000 piece puzzles that some people do at home. It takes them days, sometimes weeks to complete, but once it's done there is a sense of fullfillment and peace.

I was thinking about this today and how closely it relates to life. Sometimes life can be confusing and no matter how hard you try the pieces don't fit where you want them to. You become so fustrated you feel like you just want to give up.

But then I thought ... If we could only apply the same stratergy to life as those people who are determined to complete the 1000 piece puzzles, then eventually (it won't happen over night) we will end up with a life that is fullfilled and peaceful.

Puzzles are facinating things ... whoever invented them was definitly onto something...
