Puzzle Crazy

This week we have been a little puzzle crazy. A few weeks ago an area leader in our church gave us a challenge to not watch TV or listen to worldly music for a week to help us to quiet ourselves and have the opportunity to feel the spirit more. We decided to accept the challenge and started last Sunday. It has been an interesting and great week. We have found that we spend more time talking and being able to mediate and think. We have also found time for other activities like puzzles. We usually do a couple puzzles a year, but this last week we have done two. We finished one we started a couple weeks ago then started a new one that we are pretty much done with. We really like the challenge of puzzles and it gives us more time to talk.

The challenge has not been easy, but it has been worth it. We have enjoyed more peace and quiet in our home and lives. We have also found that doing a puzzle after a long hard day of work is relaxing, but still requires us to use our brain. I think we will try to keep up with our new challenge and limit our TV and find more productive or stimulating things to do...it just feels good.
