hmmm…..
In three more days, I will have completed 365 days of “hmmm…..” blogs. Now, that may not impress you all that much, but it impresses the heck out of me! About a year ago, I made a commitment to write around 250 words a day on a news event for that day. I call it “thoughts on the news of the day:” and on Saturday I will have completed that goal. Usually my blog is about a significant current event of the day, like Amanda Knox’s acquittal. Occasionally it is about a holiday, like Yom Kippur. And some days it is just about an event that is significant in my own life; like today. Some have been better than others, I admit that; but being consistent and doing it everyday has been a significant accomplishment for someone who starts many things and then fizzles out. This Saturday will be a milestone day for me in terms of accomplishments, and I intend to celebrate it.
Another milestone happens today. My only child is celebrating her birthday. I still remember the day she was born – how happy I was and how proud of her. It was one of the most significant days of my life, still is. I have acknowledged it 28 times because it is one of my greatest accomplishments.
Milestones are important in our growth as human beings. We need them to know how far we have come, and sometimes how far we still need to go. Milestones can be birthdays, wedding dates, or graduation days. But always they are important days to acknowledge the accomplishments we have made.
What are your milestones, and how will you celebrate them today?
