Introduction

Puzzle Pieces.

Ever since I can remember, my mom and my brother have been doing puzzles. I often would watch them patiently pick out each piece and try to figure out where it fits. I would become frustrated with the slowness of the task and often bail after 10 minutes into it. This seemed to change, when my brother went off to college last year. When he finally came home for winter break my mom had put a puzzle out. I had just wanted to spend anytime I had with him so I decided to join in on the puzzle experience.

I realized later on that something about doing puzzles makes me feel full-filled. As we sat in silence for over 2 hours working on the 1,000 piece puzzle I learned how special this moment was. We didn't speak much in the time, but I felt that so much had been said. When we finally finished that puzzle around 1:30 in the morning, I felt accomplished. When I went to sleep that night I realized one thing.

Our lives are just one big puzzle.

And that we are constantly trying to fit together the pieces. Because in the end we know that the picture will be well worth it. The feeling of completing a puzzle that you have worked so hard on is incredible. I can only imagine what that would be like compared to our lives.

I want my blog to be full of puzzle pieces, for me and you to find.A blog that shows how each piece we earn is crucial to complete the picture.And that sometimes in the blur of things we often forget how important the little pieces can be, I want to learn how to put them all together.
