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.

Needless to say, all achievements belong to the interwoven whole, yet some still tend toward personal or inner circle celebrations.

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.
