The word ‘milestones’ is frequently used to represent events that are worthy of recognition. If the timeline of our lives is thought of like a highway, then the milestones are those events on the path that are worth remembering.
After 20,000 days, I wondered how many milestones I could actually remember. More importantly, did I learn anything from them that will help me in the next 20,000 days. Or tomorrow anyway.
I reach that milestone in January, 2010, and I will celebrate it with my wife on a well-deserved vacation, running the Maui Oceanfront Half-Marathon. Because I can. I look forward to as many of the next 20,000 days I may be blessed with, and I hope that by looking back, I can make the next years that much better.
