Milestones in life:
birthdays…
anniversaries…
graduations… are precious.
They are celebratory moments, in time, that punctuate life.
I look forward to milestones and hold them dear to my heart…
Often, they arrive just when I need them most… when I am struggling with pain or despair… feeling lost or world-weary…
A moment, a celebration, a milestone shared with those I love and cherish, can rejuvenate my spirit and remind me of how fortunate I am to be loved and to have so much in my life to be thankful for.

“Dear God, thank you for the precious moments. For the times that celebrate the milestones in my life.”

I’m looking forward to the time when I will be less anxious about milestones because they equate to more joyous times. Right now my mind seems to hit the other ones… 7 months since I moved from my home, Valentine’s Day tomorrow, family members with children who have great moments and I’m not able to share as many of them now because the “landscape” has changed.
But I am grateful for all of it, and I know the right kind of milestones are coming!
Still feel little twinges about celebrations, special days , birthdays etc but I do feel more joy in these moments with friends and family.
Last year it was still grief , but time does heal. 🙂
Yes… exactly…. find those brief moments of joy and hold them close! 🙂
Here we are at another year , and the milestones feel good rather than painful. Joyful times with friends , and moving on has become a relief and it’s nice to look forward to things again 🙂
