Kaizen Chaos

I never believed in soul mates, at least for myself, until I fell in love with my husband. As cheesy as it sounds he and his family made my once lackluster life feel whole.  I often said he was the missing piece in the puzzle of my life and what’s worse is I truly believed it with all my heart. Part of me still wants to.

Ironically, fate has taken a twisted turn and his budding career has rearranged some very important pieces of my puzzle. (Ever run across those tricky pieces that seem to match at first glance but no matter how hard you rotate, push, shove and hope they fit you eventually wonder if they belong to another puzzle entirely?)

I’ve been pushing and shoving and rotating and hoping for over two years now but the pieces just don’t fit like they used to. Could it be that I so desperately wanted to complete the picture that nobody looked close enough to see they were never a perfect fit to begin with? At what point do you give up, tear it all apart, mix up the pieces and start over? And most importantly, how do you know whether to toss the tricky pieces aside or hold on to them just in case they eventually do find the perfect place in your puzzle?
