My life has been filled with more activities than I'm used to this month. And it's been hot. So relaxing with a puzzle has been really fun. And I finally finished the dog portrait puzzle. It was difficult to fit it in one picture with my phone so that's why the picture above is a bit uneven and tilted.
I had thought it would be easy since the dogs were so different from each other and each had a different color background.
Not so, I obviously have no talent for jigsaw puzzles. Something I find a bit annoying, since I'm usually pretty good at problem solving.
Only good thing about me and puzzles is that I don't give up. It may take me a very long time to finish one, but I will complete it.
And I will start a new one soon, still only 300 pieces. We'll see how it goes.
I tell you this though: Every time a piece fits into another piece, I feel a little thrill and a tiny amount of pride. It reminds me of childhood games and how proud I would be when I solved something, found the right clue, or won the game.
I think solving puzzles is a good thing at any age. I also do crossword puzzles, and enjoy Word Master on my Kindle.
