This morning as I was cleaning I found a puzzle piece just under the fridge door, I picked it up and wiped it (ew) and realized I need to clean underneath the fridge (so I did). Anyway this story has a point I swear, I looked at the piece, relatively small and grey with a dab of green on it wondering what puzzle was missing this piece? it wasn't an edge so it could be our intricate yet indulging 1000 piece jelly bean puzzle or our 1500 piece Simpson's hmm...
It made me think kind of like a metaphor, somewhere a puzzle is missing it's piece. Like in real life, someone somewhere is usually always missing a piece. I miss little pieces all the time, appointments, lost socks or keys. But these little things all add up to form the pieces of my life. Sometimes all the pieces are here and fall into place nicely. Other times I am missing more than I can piece together and it all just sorta falls apart until I pick up the pieces again.
My life is definitely a million piece puzzle...so many pieces, some are bound to go missing. But all that matters is that I find the pieces and put the puzzle back together.
Today the pieces are all falling into place...effortlessly (rare occurrence). We are getting our article in the newspaper, Ashton's preschool registered him, I got 2 more childcare interviews, and a JOB! Mondays, Wednesdays 7-10 PM...Moms helper some light housework, cooking, sewing, peeling and chopping food. $15/hour I say that's a pretty good size puzzle piece!
Tomorrow I have errands to run all day, first 10 am 22nd street station for a craigslist pick up of girl clothes for Elizabeth (she needs fall clothes so desperately). Then off to 12:00 Lake city sky train for another pick up (my Halloween costume!). Then to the bank to pay bills, then rush home for 1:45 dismissal at school, 3 pm Burnaby Now photographers here, 4:45 intake meetings at school, 6 pm Brownies (Allura)...
Somewhere in there I am sure I will lose a piece, find a piece and when in doubt make new pieces to my GIANT life size puzzle!
And a little laugh for you, Mr Trusty Blogger spell checker wanted to correct "craigslist" to "crackliest" rofl!!

As soon as you said that you were thinking of your life metaphorically, I saw not a puzzle perse, but one of those photo mosaics that are a large picture when you stand back and made up of tiny little pictures. I found this for you to see http://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/photo-mosaic.png. Love ya!
Denise - So happy you have found a part time job! I love your puzzle of life - it is so true - all of us have our own puzzle. Today - many of my pieces are missing and I am going to work very hard to find them!
Thanks for sharing!
