I have spent much time over the years working on jigsaw puzzles, usually with clients. I am not a big fan! As a matter of fact, I kind of hate them but I have learned a valuable life lesson from them. To me, jigsaw puzzles can be overwhelming, all those jumbled up pieces that don't make any sense, each one uniquely its own color and shape, a pile of chaotic color.

And yet, oh so slowly, as the pieces are fitted together one by one, the chaos gives way to order.

A bigger picture begins to form from the tiny individual parts until as the last few are put in place; a completed eceipretsam is before us.

I think of my life as if it is a jigsaw puzzle, filled with individuals and experiences that on their own don't seem like much. Put together, however, they are oh so slowly, forming a picture.

Every person I meet and every experience I have adds a new piece to my life puzzle. Even people and experiences that I might not have liked to have added a bit of color to my masterpiece. I am excited to see what the final picture looks like! I know that I have worked hard on it!
