65! How did that happen?

[melinda010100]

I wanted to post today to #thoughtfuldailypost tag that was started by @wesphilbin

Tomorrow is my birthday. I love that the universe celebrates it every year with shooting stars.
The Perseid meteor shower is already underway, but it will reach its peak from Sunday, Aug. 11 through Tuesday, Aug. 13. The full moon might dim them down this year, but it will still be worth remembering to look up! #lookingup

My kids and grandkids are arriving this morning and have a party planned to celebrate my birthday tomorrow. They have invited 30 people and have hired caterers to bring the food!

It is odd to think about turning 65 years old, when I really don't feel that old at all...at least while I am sitting in my comfy chair!

Hope everyone has a great weekend and remember to watch for meteors!

Happy Belated Birthday! My mom's 84th birthday was August 10th! What a great month for a birthday! My husband, MIL and a niece also all have birthdays in August! I know the party was wonderful!

[melinda010100]

My youngest granddaughter also has a birthday few days after mine. The rest of the family has winter birthdays so our shared birthday week gives us a connection I don't have with anyone else in the family!

[zoricatech]

Wish you a very Happy Birthday @melinda010100! I'm really happy that I found you as your contests and photos motivated me to be creative.
Happy Birthday for your granddaughter! Have a wonderful day with your family, enjoy.
Stay forever young in your hart and keep spreading the optimism. Live like a lion. :)

[melinda010100]

Thanks so much, Zori! I really appreciate your good wishes.
Your creativity is an inspiration to me.
My granddaughter is turning 13 this year. A teenager!

Happy Birthday, Melinda! I'm about 5 months behind you...

[melinda010100]

Thanks, Keith. I think I did remember that we are the same age!

[denissemata]

It makes me immensely happy that you will celebrate your birthday with your family and friends. And I ask the universe to give you many more years of life. Because you are an extraordinary woman and I thank you every day that you are my friend. I hope to see many photos of tomorrow

[melinda010100]

Thanks so much, my dear friend! I'm sure there will be lots of pictures!

[denissemata]

I will be very happy to see all the photos. I have a little present for you! Too bad I can't give it to you, but I do it with so much love❤

[melinda010100]

You are so sweet! The kids have been busy cooking and putting up decorations all day!

[denissemata]

It's great that kids are doing so many things to celebrate your life. I would love to be there to help!

[melinda010100]

I wish you were here, too!
!ENGAGE 50

[denissemata]

I think it was yesterday or today, I don't remember. That my mother told me that she only wants one thing to be able to travel to the USA and meet you and I told her what I would do if she does not know how to speak English and told me that it would only be enough for she to hug you so that you know how much she is grateful to you

Thanks, Mike!

[janton]

Howdy Melinda! I sure can relate! I've been out in the heat working my tail off all summer just like I always have except I shorten the work day. I blame that on steemit though, not my age! I still haven't used a Senior Citizen discount yet, that just doesn't sound right, that's for old people!

I'm so glad the family is coming over, that sounds like quite the party!

[melinda010100]

Hahaha! It must be Steemit's fault! Today was wonderful!

[janton]

Are you doing a post about it?

[melinda010100]

I will, once I get all the photos together!

[quotes-haven]

Congratulations! You made it to another year! Wishing you a Happy 65th Birthday and many happy returns of the day. @Melinda We never feel our age. Sometimes, we feel younger, sometimes we feel older. ☺️

[melinda010100]

Thank you! That is so true!

[pardinus]

Happy birthday! Age is just a number 😉. Have a great day tomorrow!

Wishing you a wonderful birthday and I hope your having fun with family, and as someone said to me the other day your only as old as you feel :)

[melinda010100]

It was a great day! So much fun. I appreciate your kind words!

[tattoodjay]

Thats great :) I am not so far behind you my Next birthday I hit 60

[melinda010100]

Then you will get to make 60 birthday wishes!

[tattoodjay]

I try and avoid my birthday if I can I always have, I do love celebrating other peoples birthdays more than mine I hate being the focus of attention for anything

[melinda010100]

This party was certainly not my idea! I would have been happy ignoring it completely, but I did have fun.

[tattoodjay]

Yes sometimes it more for others and we have to grin and bare it for our family and friend s;)

[hangin]

Happy birthday my friend i hope you had a wonderful time with your family and that they spoiled you in every way wishing you all the best of everything :)

[melinda010100]

Thanks! They did make me feel like I was Queen for the day! I had so much fun!

[hangin]

Your welcome and good to hear you had a wonderful time :)

[fotosdenada]

Wow, sounds like quite the birthday plans! Happy BD!

It's a little disappointing that the meteor shower lined up with the full moon this year, but they should still be visible... ish. I was considering getting up at 3 AM after moonset on the besrt night, but I don't know if that'll happen. Plus, the last time I took photos of the meteor shower, someone called the police on me and they ruined a ten-minute long exposure by leaving their headlights on, pointed right at the camera.

[melinda010100]

No way! You and that camera are such trouble makers! Lots of clouds here tonight, but maybe I will still get a chance to see some.

[traciyork]

I hope you're having an amazing celebration @melinda010100, and may all your birthday wishes come true!

[melinda010100]

Someone told me that I get 65 wishes! That makes getting old much more almost worth it! 🧓
