This year, I've been incorporating my own pictures and experiences instead of harvesting from Google. It's sometimes a challenge to find an inspirational image or an image to match the inspiration I have already in words. I just finished a 1000 piece Cobble Hill puzzle called Farm Country. What better place to give it a home than here... and my Cobble Hill Files... and Instagram ... and back on the shelf. Oh well. So it has four homes.
I still like puzzling. I'm not totally sick of it yet. But I have downsized to accomodate my changing moods. I'm not that excited to take on the big puzzles like 1000 or 2000 pc puzzles. I would rather enjoy a 500 or 350 pc puzzle. I can do more images and I don't get tired of the process.
Maybe it also means that I can't run with the rest of the performance pack ... but I'm not a performer when it comes to puzzling. I like doing my own thing. Maybe that says more about the way I am doing life now, not just puzzles. I don't need to perform, I don't need to run with the pack, I don't need to do anything other than live and love. If that means that I just sit in my office on a Sunday morning do a 500 pc puzzle... than that's what it is. And I am okay!
