LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO DO?

Why not commit to a puzzle. I have just the one; it’s called “Our New Normal.”

Oh, it’s a doozy – five thousand pieces, all shades of grey. Frankly it seems impossible to master, but I happen to know the best way to start. Look for the wellness pieces – they’re the ones with flat edges.

Like any jigsaw, this one won’t be easy to piece together. You’ll walk away from the table a hundred times, muttering about how stupid it all is (oh, is it just me who does that?).

But, something will draw you back – a connector piece that’s been staring you in the face for days (Really? It was there the entire time?!?), or simply the sheer desire to master this challenge, the likes of which you’ve never seen before and, hopefully, will never see again.

Trust me, it’s worth it. Our New Normal may feel like a jumble of mismatched pieces at the moment, but by focusing on what we can patch together first, we will be able to see the big picture sooner rather than later.
