Have a very happy birthday! Hope you enjoy being 50! I have enjoyed it and wish I had sketchbook pages to capture my own memories and feelings so your illustrations are inspiring and motivating to start.

Happy birthday from a fellow May birthday girl. And yes, I feel as young as a girl at (gulp!) 69 this year. Wishing you many blessings as you enjoy your milestone birthday.

Wow! You have just described so well my own feelings at milestone birthdays…and I’ve had a few more than you. I truly have a love-hate relationship with the Milestones for the conflicting reasons that are probably obvious and about which you waxed so eloquently. As a fellow May birthday girl, I send a happy one to you. And, actually, the 40s and 50s were the best, after getting over the milestone entry point for each.

A very happy birthday to you, Samantha! I hit this milestone recently, too, and I completely concur with you about the passage of time. Sometimes it feels like we’re on a runaway mine car!
