Happy Birthday to me, happy birthday to me. Sharing lessons learned in life on my birthday.
Good morning! Today is my birthday and as I have done in the past I thought I would tell you a few things I have learned in the last 47 years. You might want to grab a coffee or an early morning piece of birthday cake this could take awhile.
2. Always be yourself.
3. Dream big.
4. Please and thank you will get you anything.
5. There is no such thing as a stupid question.
6. Forgive and forget.
8. Invest in experiences, not stuff.
9. Fear will eat you up if you let it.
10. Travel and explore as much as you can, whenever and wherever.
11. Don’t wish your life away.
12. Relationships are work, even the good ones.
13. Never say never.
15. You are in charge of how you feel.
16. Not everything is better after a good nights sleep.

36. Believe in miracles.
37. You can’t change other people.
38. Books are friends.
39.Time is priceless, savor it.
40. Always wear sunscreen, visit the dentist and have a yearly physical.
41. Quality over quantity.
43. Chocolate make you feel better.
44. Have compassion and empathy for that which you do not know.
45. God gave us all a purpose.
46. I still have a lot to learn.
I will be celebrating my special day with a glass of champagne, a scrumptious cake, people that I love and hopefully with a sprinkling of snow.
I hope that you have a great day.
Don’t forget you can also keep up with me on Pinterest, Instagram, and Facebook. And last but not least, if you like Pinecones & Acorns share it with a friend!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY from one Scorpio to another. My birthday is this Saturday. But, it would take too long to write a piece of advice for each year I have celebrated.
My goal for this next year of my life is to do things I don't usually do. So for my birthday, the family is headed to a brewery to make beer, soda and pretzels. I hate beer, but it will be so much fun to create it together and we get to choose our own name and design a label. We are going to give the beer and soda out as Christmas gifts to friends. We will eat the pretzels.
Happy Birthday to you! I think you are going to have a fabulous time at your birthday party making beer and soda, as for the pretzels, my favorite part of the trip!
Thank you for the birthday wishes.
Happy Birthday, just follow all this advice,
next year you will be 2 inches taller. Haha

Hi Elizabeth, Happy Birthday. All the very best to you for a wonderful year ahead. What did you do to celebrate? Much love from Canada.
Elizabeth happy belated birthday! I originally read this post on my IPhone and it wouldn't let me comment. But I had to return to tell you how much I enjoyed your quotes and your insightful lessons. You sound like such a wise person and I always appreciate reading your wonderful posts.
Wishing you a year of continued health, love and fantastic writing!

You clearly live your creed, my friend….
Again, a beautiful Birthday to a beautiful woman! You always inspire me, and I see you as a soul sister (a fellow Scorpio one too!)….
I loved everything you listed here, and this year I decided that instead of New Year's resolution…my Birthday will be the start of a new year…and why not?
Joy and Love,
