This past weekend, my husband and I celebrated with our families an important milestone in our lives. It’s our son’s first birthday! A baby’s birthday- why is that so important? Because we have achieved triumph over much adversity! We tried to conceive for 5 years. Just two years ago, there was no baby in the picture, and I couldn’t even imagine this day ever being here. Do you ever feel that way about your life?
Can you imagine yourself in a serious love relationship or even marriage a year or two from now? Stranger things have happened!
Think about the milestones in your life: high school graduation, college graduation, graduate school, your first job, your first real relationship, perhaps your first marriage, or the birth of a child or children. I am sure when you were in the middle of the road to that accomplishment, there were doubts and fear. In college, you may have thought, Will I ever graduate? It felt like a monumental task. Yet, you eventually did!
Why is it important to look back at your milestones? Here are some reasons:
1. To see where you have come from
2. To see how far you have come
3. To acknowledge your accomplishments
4. To give you the confidence to know that if you put your mind and energies towards it, you can achieve your hopes and dreams.
Today we are celebrating my son’s first birthday. This is a huge milestone for us. The first year of having a baby is a rough one. He is now a happy, adorable boy.
On to the next milestone: Kindergarten graduation!
So what milestones in your life do you want to celebrate today? What are you in the middle of that seems like a monumental achievement for you right now?
