Turning "50" Gift Idea

I love doing survival kits for gifts, but I also like giving encourge"mints" gift jars.
I bought a jar at the dollar store. I searched the internet for some encouraging quotes on getting older.

Here are some quotes I found:

Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.
-- Mark Twain
It’s not your 50th birthday. It’s your 29th anniversary of your 21st birthday.
Life is change. Growth is optional.
Choose wisely.

Only as high as I reach can I grow, only as far as I seek can I go, only as deep as I look can I see, only as much as I dream can I be.  -Karen Ravn

Aging only happens to people who lose their lust for getting better and disconnect from their natural base of curiosity. -Robin Sharma

You are younger today than you ever will be again. Make use of it for the sake of tomorrow. -Anon
Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards.
-- Soren Kierkegaard
I printed these quotes and a few others out on card stock, cut them out, and stapled a lifesavers mint to each quote. 


I put them in the jar with the rest of the mints and then tied some twine around the lid.
