Sometimes life is like odd bits of a jigsaw

Who says that life's little pieces have to join neatly together? Sometimes life throws us jigsaw pieces just like these. Every waking day could be a series of misshaped bits if we let it. Our alarm doesn't go off for some reason. We need petrol and the garage isn't open. We drive to work and discover we've chosen the wrong clothes today. Let's face it, confronting life with a brave face is tiring. I find it hard when things don't go the way I expected them to. There is only me to solve the puzzle of which bit goes where, whereas two heads, we all know, are better than one at solving puzzles. So much of life is like bits of a jigsaw. We rely on our relationships being like closely fitting bits of the same puzzle. Get the edges and the corners done and your heart tells you that you're on your way! When the pieces turn out like these, it's time to accept that you're better off chucking them back in the box and starting again! Give me an old fashioned cottage garden puzzle where every bit had a sticky outie bit, or two, and I'll be happy ;)
