One Good Thing

Today’s One Good Thing is a simple thing that may not be to everyone’s liking. That’s just fine – everyone should find their own Good Things.

And one of mine is jigsaw puzzles. 🧩

I discovered puzzles just about a year ago when I was down for a few days following a minor medical procedure. There was something incredibly restful about knowing that the answer was right there in front of me and all I had to do was look at the pieces and find the pattern. I’ve done dozens of these since and always find a certain sense of calm in working on them.

I have a few days of calm right now – my Beloved is away at a professional conference where he is keynoting the event (yes, I am quite proud of him, thanks for noticing!) – and I’m enjoying some mental and physical “unlocking” after the concentrated crazy of Pyrite University’s quest to secure the crown for “Least Organized Closure Ever” and the ripple effects that’s had on me and my family.

Something with the answer right in front of me is exactly what I need for a bit.
