Milestones
The first day of school; a milestone when you are beginning your senior year in high school and this year my daughter's got her car and her license! When I think about the term "milestones", I wonder where that came from? I picture small stones set along the road at one mile intervals, marking the progress of the journey. Yep, this year is a milestone.
What's the story behind the phrase "milestone?" Does anyone know?
