I loved this piece too! Good advice: "Don't wait for the milestone" — I've seen too many not live long enough to enjoy those moments. There are no guarantees, so I'm all for living NOW. Or how about living now and celebrating the milestones?

Full disclosure: I'm planning a trip for my 50th next year.

Where will you go for your 50th? Yes, I am trying to drink fully from the cup of life every day!

Isle of Palms, South Carolina — it's been too many years since I've been to the ocean!
