Moody Monday: Milestones in Time

Milestones in time, markers in my life. 

• After we started spending winters in Florida, when I was in the 8th grade. 
• Before and after I moved to Florida after finishing school. 
• First House.
• Second House. 
• Finishing at Rollins College.
• Moving to Kentucky.
• My year as an hourly employee. 
• Law school years - and bar exam. - 
• The commuting year - 
• The student apartment years. 
• Legal aid years - consulting for AARP.
• Moving to DC, starting the job.
• 2015 - My Medical Adventure - and getting married.
• BC, Before Covid
• Becoming Director
• Post Covid, return to the office, return to in-person conferences
• Planning for the next chapter. 

I am surprised by how much is calculated as BC, PC. When did something happen.  Jay's bathroom remodel was BC, mine was during lock-down, kitchen PC.  Covid is a bigger time marker for me, than when my parents died (to get the year right I have to go look up the records.)   

All of these are time points that carry special meaning, that bring emotion and mood.  Funny the things that we remember.  I remember what end of what subway platform I was on when I took the phone call with the contract to sell my father's house.  If I am on that platform, trying to figure out where to board the train to be best positioned for changing lines to go home, I remember that phone call, and where I was when the phone rang.  I stepped aside and waited for the next train while I listened to the details of the offer.  

I was thinking of the milestone points in my life, events that stand out in my brain.
