 ​This is it!  We've sold our house and made the plunge into full-timing :) After living in our

home for 33 years we've managed to downsize to our "Cassie" and "Mac" (Move Along

A piece is missing

I looked and looked but could not find where this puzzle piece fit.  I zoomed in and I zoomed out. I had Wendy look and it just didn't seem to fit.  The subject came up this morning and I remember the context, and it struck me as memorable.  I ultimately figured it really doesn't matter that I can't see where it fits.  What matters, to me, is that when faced with an important part that seems to be missing from the big picture, so to speak, what do I do.  Carolyn made up a piece, drew in the details, and patched it into the missing hole and completed the task at hand.  What i liked, when I heard Carolyn talk, was what she did when she was confronted by the challenge.  She put together her imagination with a little artistic creativity and came up with a solution that completed the big picture.  I probably would have given up, looked for a few hours in places where I knew it wouldn't be, muttered something, and given up hope of finishing and put it back into the box to be thrown away.   So finally I come to my point.  Without Carolyn's point of view I would probably have gone in a totally different, and certainly worse, direction.  I pray, daily, for help to make right choices.  I need to seek help from these kinds of friends to help me in those situations where I might need help.  I love that I am surrounded by God's children in times I need to fill in the pieces of my life, knowing that I can't figure out a lot of this stuff on my own.  I sure am thankful for His love and all of ya'll.  I'm lucky ya like me!  So WOW again with my attempts to put my mind into a blog :)

John, as far as I was concerned, it's just a puzzle, but you made it into a much bigger picture. Comparing that puzzle piece to making right choices in life knowing that we can't figure out a lot of stuff on our own. Thank you for your love and friendship. Can't wait for when we are able to give you guys a hello hug again.

Hi Carolyn,
I don't know why your story struck me that way but my feeling was immediate, however incomplete, until you sent me the picture with the fabricated piece. Between you making the puzzle complete and me trying to figure where the piece fit, it then became clear to me. Guess maybe I have a little too much time on my hands out here? LOL. Stay safe. Love ya'll,
John
