How did I spend my down time over Thanksgiving weekend? (Relaxing - NOT setting up the Christmas tree)?
Like Ross Geller, I too like to kick back with a puzzle once in a while.
I found this great 998-piece puzzle at a thrift store a couple of weeks ago. Of course, when you buy something secondhand, you sometimes don't know exactly what you're getting, or whether that great discovery will be "all there."
That's the chance you take, right? I spent hours working out this puzzle, only to come up 2 pieces short at the end.
Somehow it seemed like the perfect metaphor for my life.
It was almost there.
My life, in form of puzzle
It was a good reminder to focus on the joys in the journey, not on the end result.
Life seems to contain a lot of unfinished puzzles. While I wish I had all the pieces to pull them together, I don't. That's just how it is. I love a holiday that reminds us to be thankful anyway.
May your Christmas season be full of Thanksgiving - for everything.
"In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."
1 Thessalonians 5:18
It seems that the older I get, the more puzzle pieces I am missing!
