I know, there's still one day left, and I'll be sure to do so tomorrow, but c'mon, how awesome has this whole thing been? I love reflecting on the past and making plans for the future, so this was right up my alley (shouldn't it be right down my alley...think about it).
Anyway, here we go!

Day 30
December 30 – Gift Prompt: Gift. This month, gifts and gift-giving can seem inescapable. What’s the most memorable gift, tangible or emotional, you received this year? (Author: Holly Root)
I love giving gifts, getting them has always felt weird. Bragging about them has felt stranger.
Aside from things like my engagement ring and the beautiful Om symbol necklace my fiance bought me for Christmas, I'm going to have to say that the gift of support is the best one I received this year.
This came from a number of different people in my life, friends, co-workers, family members. But what hit me the most was the support I received from my fiance with some life-changing opportunities. Not only was he completely on board about moving to Chicago, but he found a way to make it work for him in the long run as well.
Since then, opportunities of all shapes and sizes have been thrown at me, and he's been there for me through every decision, 100% - even when the impact isn't so positive for him.
That's true partnership right there, and I am so grateful to have someone like him in my life. So really, that's been the best gift this year.
Cheers!
