I think I miscounted!!

I spent this morning going through every essay I have published on this Ship 30 for 30 journey. I thought I was publishing Day 28 today. I had published every day since the start and but for some reason 28 just didn't seem right.

And then I discovered it.

It was during the time when Twitter and Typeshare were not playing nice with each other...and all the work-arounds were taking place. In that space, I messed up on what day it was in journey and used the same day number, twice.

Today is Day 29! Whew!!

In my search, I made another discovery. A Lesson. Something I need to keep remembering.

Here was my lesson:

My focus on the goal has often kept me from appreciating the journey.

I have shown up every day. And hit publish. Gotta do it. Ship it. 30 in 30 days. That's the goal.

But it was good to go back through my essays today and recall the journey.

I have made most of the live sessions...or listened to them later. Ideas have been worked on. Frameworks tried out. Exchanges with fellow shippers have taken place. Connections made.

This journey has been more than just reaching a goal...which I admit in itself is amazing. But all things I mentioned above are a huge part of that journey and should not be missed.

My wife asked today, "Tomorrow...relief or sadness?"

Both I said.

But I plan to keep writing!!
