50 Lessons of 50 Series

Back in 2021 I created a series of articles titled, "The 50 Lessons of 50 Years" -- tools for finding peace. purpose, and pleasure while getting older.  Along the way I never completely archived the series,  nor ever had displayed all the articles indexed in one place.  So two years and one-hundred Tub Talks later, I am finally compiling a list of all the ideas with links in one entire post.  I hope they support your journey toward finding joy, meaning, passion, and play as you age as well.
