Dear Humans,

While working on a jigsaw puzzle with my daughter last night, I thought about how it’s like life.

You start with the easy, predictable edge pieces. You might get confused every once in a while, but it’s mostly straightforward. It’s learning to walk, talk, and go boom in the potty.

But then you get to the vast middle. And you better have a plan. You can’t just grab a piece and try to fit it into the puzzle. You work on different sections of the puzzle at a time.

And with every piece, the puzzle becomes a little easier.

And when you get to the end, and you just about feel like you know what you’re doing, the puzzle is complete.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
