HEPABOLU

Yesterday I realized that finishing an open loop does not necessarily mean doing the obvious.

When looking for a specific jigsaw puzzle in the attic I found a huge project: a 5000 pieces puzzle of Rembrandt’s Nightwatch. I got it from an old relative when he found out that I liked jigsaw puzzles. I’ve tried finishing it a few times but since I don’t like the subject (too dark) I always packed it up after a while. Another forgotten open loop.

Given my New Year’s resolution I decided that this was also one of those open loops and that I should finish it. Opening the box I saw that last time I sorted and packed the pieces by shape, with everything broken up.
Thinking of FlyLady I decided that this puzzle doesn’t make me happy and that I should get rid of it. I counted the pieces to make sure it was complete and I put it up for sale on the internet.

The decision alone gave a sense of relief. Very rewarding.

UPDATE: it was bought as a gift for a jigsaw puzzle and paintings fan. Good to see it comes in loving hands.
