This year, in ways big and small, you celebrated America’s 250th birthday. You viewed parades, lit off sparklers, spent time with family, you might’ve even visited a museum or taken a road trip to see the country itself.

Do you ever find yourself worrying? Heather and I are reaching milestone birthdays this year. One of us will soon be 62, and the other just turned 65. Neither of us is sure how we got here. It’s like we blinked our eyes and life went by. Of course, that’s not the way it happened,
