I love doing jigsaw puzzles! I love taking a new challenge out of the box and laying each piece out with great anticipation at the task ahead. Setting up the outside is easy and it creates the foundation for connecting everything else together. Getting onto what is inside – well that’s where the fun really begins! Some pieces are easy and just slot into place, others take a bit more time and effort. Then there are some that are downright frustrating and you begin to wonder if they made a mistake and slipped a dud piece in. But then when you find their right place it feels oh-so-satisfying and you can move onto the next piece. You continue to make progress until finally every piece is connected and you sit back and celebrate your achievement.
