Celebrating milestones

We all tend to celebrate milestones. Some common events are celebrated by most of us through birthdays, anniversaries, and other holidays. Other milestones can lean to the more personal victories such as sobriety, travels, or championships. Some milestones may remember a tragedy, acknowledge a life-lesson, or simply exist. We each travel our journey. We cannot move forward without creating a past. Which means each of us will create and celebrate hundreds of milestones. Some will be good, some will be sad, and some will be downright ugly. But without these events, we wouldn't be the same individuals we are today. It is these events that shape our understanding of life, living, and interactions with others. It is easy to become pensive and reflective during the Holiday Season. We use the Holidays as reminders to be grateful of what we have, love those around us, and to both accept the past and celebrate the near future. As we move through the holiday season we work to create memories. We seek comfort, love, happiness, and peace. the aftermath of a milestone tends to be more interesting than the actual event. It is hard to truly feel an event as we are constantly processing and going through the motions. But in the aftermath we can reflect and feel all that has occurred. As you travel your HealthFULL journey I hope you Fully Understand Life by Living as you celebrate your own personal milestones. May your journey be full of lessons and celebrations. May your reflections be exciting, comforting, and joyful. 'Til we meet again. . .
