Five Minute Friday :: Milestone Linkup

Some milestones are the result of effort and exertion; others the outcome of the passage of time. Milestones can be mainly individual or primarily community or family. Our host Kate wrote about her daughter's eighteenth birthday, a major one that's about parental pride, about the offspring's, about society obtaining an adult citizen-participant.

Do you celebrate your baptismal birthday? Your physical natal day? Your name day? Maybe all of them or none of them?

Each instance of weeks, months, and years of one day at a time are stellar milestones for someone in recovery.

Needless to say, all achievements belong to the interwoven whole, yet some still tend toward personal or inner circle celebrations. Many encompass a larger group, from school graduations, to town or country founding centennials, to singular events that would include national independence, a congregation's founding, a company's going public on the NYSE, NASDAQ, FTSE, HKEX or…

When a workplace or organization undertakes a sizable project, the proposal typically outlines milestones, particularly when it's a weeks long or months long endeavor.

Talk about a prompt that can go in multiple directions! What are some of your important milestones?

  1. I thought of so many milestones. You thought of so many more. You’re so right in your observation that this one word could have taken us quite far and in many different directions. One word coup be a book. Thank you for writing!
