Imogene / puzzles

[Guest guest]

Hi Imogene-

Truly enjoyed this read. Thank you. Made me also

think of a puzzle in New Zealand. It is called a

Wasgij. Yes, Jigsaw backward. On the puzzle

box is a picture of people. You have to figure out

what a person in the puzzle is seeing. Sound confusing?

It is but also a very interesting concept. Still though,

this read explains even those types of puzzles.

Patience is needed, and it allcomes together, each

Wasgij we put together. I typed in Wasgij in a search

engine and came up with a New Zealand site. It shows

some of the puzzles we put together. I am going to

save the site in our favorites and show when

he gets home from work in the morning.

Take care Imogene-

Sandie

EVERYTHING I NEEDED TO KNOW ABOUT LIFE

I LEARNED FROM A JIGSAW PUZZLE

By Jacquie Sewell (with apologies to Fulghum)

1. Don't force a fit--if something is meant to be, it will come together

naturally.

2. When things aren't going so well, take a break. Everything will look

different when you return.

3. Be sure to look at the big picture. Getting hung up on the little pieces

only leads to frustration.

4. Perseverance pays off. Every important puzzle went together bit by bit,

piece by piece.

5. When one spot stops working, move to another. But be sure to come back

later (see #4).

6. The creator of the puzzle gave you the picture as a guidebook. Refer to

the Creator's guidebook often.

7. Variety is the spice of life. It's the different colors and patterns

that

make the puzzle interesting.

8. Working together with friends and family makes any task fun.

9. Establish the border first. Boundaries give a sense of security and

order.

10. Don't be afraid to try different combinations. Some matches are

surprising.

11. Take time often to celebrate your successes (even little ones).

12. Anything worth doing takes time and effort. A great puzzle can't be

rushed.

13. When you finally reach the last piece, don't be sad. Rejoice in the

masterpiece you've made and enjoy a well-deserved rest.
