Presents in July

When we are in certain situations, it can be challenging to see a positive outcome.  One of the most common we all face are relationships.  I’m talking about all types of relationships: romantic, business, friendship, etc.  Throughout life, we all face relational situations that go in unanticipated directions.  We break up with someone, a business goes in the toilet for whatever reason, and friendships end.  When we are in the moment with these situations, they can be a beating to work with and work through; however, once we are through them, we can typically look back and see the outcome was the right one.

I’ve seen the various processes referred to as gifts.  There is the Gift of Goodbye, which is just what it says.  It’s the gift of being able to walk away from someone or some situation as said person or situation is not healthy for us.  There is the Gift of Disappointment, which is the gift of moving past the “what if” stage of a situation.  It has been my experience that when we receive the gifts of goodbye and disappointment, that typically means another gift is on the way, the Gift of Hello.  The Gift of Hello is one of the best gifts you can get, in my opinion.  The Gift of Hello signifies changes and new things are on the way.
