Day 29: Came and I didn't even know it!!!

I kept thinking I was going until the end of the month! How funny. Well, day 29 was friday and I had an impromptu lunch with a favorite friend. It was spontaneous and quick, but delicious and so satisfying! We talked as fast as we could to get everything said. And my beet salad was SO good. I treated as my gift to her. I am so thankful for her friendship. :)

I realized something that I thought of as a setback was actually a gift. An opportunity missed went to someone else. At first I beat myself up about missing the boat. Then I looked again. It was offered when my dad was sick and I was committed to him. It went to a person that I can see did a great job. I am happy for them. And I have ideas that will be a better fit for me I think. It is so cool when you can see a perceived failure as a blessing in disguise!

January is done. My 29 Gifts are complete. My normal cycle of S.A.D. did not arrive in January. :)
I am not SAD. :) My friend offered that maybe my 29Gifts kept me from being sad this month. It was a journey of revelations for sure. Especially through the journaling.
