A particularly interesting Scribble for your 50th! As I know you well, I can candidly say you practice what you preach! That’s really refreshing! And I have 2 more truisms to ponder! I’m not the originator of either: 51, everyone listens when being paid a compliment. Give them often and 52, Hope is not a strategy! Refer to 1 - 50 for the strategy! Happy Birthday! Keep scribbling! 😘
Couldn't agree more with your 2 additions! Hope is definitely not a strategy and it is such a good thing to remember that people love being paid compliments. If you can't think of anything else to say, pay a compliment! thank you for reading! ❤️

My newly 50 year old self thoroughly enjoyed reading this list. I couldn't agree more with everything you said. Thank you for taking the time to articulate these thoughts so eloquently and authentically.

Happy Birthday! About to celebrate my 50th in 2 months. loved your advice and will keep it in mind. Cheers to 50!
Thank you Claire and congrats to you too! I feel like I've been processing this birthday for at least 6 months! 😉
Happy Birthday!!!! - My mantra is Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Smiled when I saw it as is one of my commandments for life and work.
it's such a good one: I'm in a constant battle with my perfectionism! thank you for reading!

Walking forever! happy birthday friend!
walking is the answer! one foot in front of the other, and repeat!
Did you steal this from Trump? A belated happy birthday!
thank you!
I loved this! The part about taking a walk rings so true for me. When things are tough I just go for distance and walk as much as I can!
walking/thinking are so intertwined. plus fresh air and a change of scenery really help!
