The missing piece of the puzzle

Oh, come on and admit it, life is a puzzle, correct? I mean here you start heading off in this direction and then you are thrown a curve ball and you fallback to catch it and find yourself running in circles and then you jump off the merrygoround and hit the ground and you’re stunned at first but then you get up, dust off and start running and suddenly you find someone has been running beside you, and then together you reach out and scoop up another, and then one of you grabs a cat out of the air and the other a dog who wants to join in and you are suddenly still in motion, but you’ve gone from all out heart thudding sprinting, to a jog, to a skip, to a walk and you look around one day and you are strolling arm and arm with this other person and you have together a little person and together y’all have two dogs, two cats, and a house on the bayou and the sun is just so in the sky and today is someone’s birthday!

Happy Birthday Tatjana – the piece of the puzzle that was missing in my life to make sense out of all of this craziness.
