What's Inside My Hula Hoop?

A good question for me to ask, when I feel despair and consternation over events over which I have no control, is “What’s inside my hula hoop?” That question returns my focus and keeps me away from that which is beyond me.

Today I’m learning to work wooden jigsaw puzzles. Not the easy cardboard kind. Wooden puzzles, made by Liberty Puzzles in Boulder, Colorado. Puzzles that can’t be worked by setting the border first. Puzzles that have whimsey pieces that go together in unusual ways. Puzzles that challenge my brain not to follow the same, timeworn route, but to imagine new possibilities.

You write it: What are you doing that helps you imagine new possibilities?
