A quick birthday recap before I move on. The scheduled hot air balloon ride didn’t happen due to the wind. As it turned out, it was for the best as the day was full of activities, family, friends, and fun. My daughters scheduled a lake cruise and 25 people came to help celebrate my day. And, there was a magician! That was super fun! A wonderful celebration of 70 years on this earth! The first photo below is of me and my two incredible daughters. They even had T-shirts made for everyone. The birthday cake was like a travel back through time with all the photos attached to it. The boat was the Sapphire Moon on Lake Ray Hubbard off I-30 in Rockwall.
My big sister, Linda Broday, got to come down to help me celebrate and that is us in the top left photo.
And last but not least is the wine glass the girls got for me. It was almost as big as me. 🙂
I am blessed beyond measure and want to offer a huge thank you to all who took the time to send birthday wishes.
My new motto for the next decade –
Live Life and Forget Your Age!
I will return next Monday with my regular post, but I do want to include this meditation because we are still under the big influence of the August Full Blue Moon. And if you missed Joan Hall’s post on the August moon, here is the LINK.
The full moon is a great time to release what is no longer serving you.
Fabulous photos Jan. You look amazing. Happy birthday again. <3
Thank you, Debby!
Fabulous, happy pics, Jan. Happy 70th Birthday and here’s to many more. Hugs and much love. <3 Xxx
Thank you, Jane! It was truly a fabulous day!
I’m so glad you had a chance to celebrate your birthday with family. Looks like a beautiful day, weather wise and for other reasons.
Thank you, Mark. It was wonderful!
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!!!MY DEAR.
I know I am late but to be honest I would be late to my own birthday. 🙂 So, please forgive me.
I see you have had a wonderful time. May this year be a start to the best decade that you will ever have. Enjoy the day and continue to follow the dream that you have within your heart. Keep flying. Keep growing, and keep rejoicing.
Take care.

Thank you, Pat! I appreciate your enthusiastic birthday wish! I will keep flying, growing, AND rejoicing!! Hugs!
How wonderful to have your family and 25 people came to your birthday party 🎉🥳, Jan! All the photos are wonderful. The hot air balloon ride sounds exciting. I’m afraid of heights, so it would not be my choice.
Happy birthday to you and wishing you many more wonderful and happy years. 💞💐🎂
Thank you, Miriam!
Happy Birthday! Glad you had such a good one. 🙂
Thank you, John!
What a fabulous birthday celebration, Jan! The T shirts and cake were lovely. Too bad about the hot air balloon, but it was still an amazing time. I loved the pictures. I’m happy you enjoyed yourself. Wishing you many more happy, healthy years❣️
Thank you, Vashti!
Happy birthday, Jan. It looks as though you had a memorable time, but I don’t believe you’re seventy!
Lol, Jacquie. I can’t believe it either, but it’s true. What in the heck am I going to do with the rest of my life? Oh, I know! Maybe I’ll write a book! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
Bummer about the balloon ride, but it looks like quite the event anyway.
It definitely was, Craig. My daughters went above and beyond. Thanks for stopping by.
What a wonderful birthday celebration, Jan! Thanks for sharing all the wonderful photos. They left me with a huge smile. You are truly blessed and loved. And your girls are so pretty. They look just like you! 🙂
Awwww, thank you for the sweet words, Mae. I very definitely am blessed and loved and I give thanks every single day. My daughters are truly my proudest accomplishment, and all I did was give birth and love them. 🙂 Thank you for the lovely comment!
Looks like you had an amazing birthday, Jan! The hot air balloon ride will happen when the time is right. I’ll be listening to the meditation later today. Enjoy what’s left of your birthday month, and then enjoy every day thereafter fully embracing your motto. 🙂
Thank you, Yvette. Yes, the balloon ride will happen at the perfect time. I’m not stressing over it in any way. I hope you enjoyed the meditation and thank you for your comment!
Huge congrats on your 70th birthday, Jan. I hope I look that good at that youthful age! Apart from the balloon ride, it sounds like you had a wonderful day. Hugs 💕🙂💕
Thank you SO much, Harmony. It was a wonderful day and my girls went above and beyond to make it happen. I am very blessed!
I’m sure celebrating with your daughters made your birthday all the more special. A lot happens over the course of a lifetime, and sometimes it’s good to reflect with your loved ones.
Absolutely, Pete! Thank you for your comment!
Looks like a beautiful day, Jan. You have some wonderful pictures and memories. I couldn’t think of a better motto! Great dragon card and thanks for the meditation.
My pleasure, Denise! Thanks for leaving a comment and glad you enjoyed the beautiful Dragon card and meditation!
What a celebration!! Happy birthday, Jan!
Yes, it was! Thank you for your comment, Liz!
You’re welcome, Jan! I enjoy seeing pictures of happy people.
70 suits you well. Happy birthday!
Awww, thank you, Alethea!
Sounds like you had a wonderful birthday, in spite of not getting to go up in the balloon. The full moon was beautiful. Did you happen to see Jupiter nearby? Thanks for sharing my link. 🙂
You are most welcome, Joan. I did see Jupiter and the moon was (and still is) amazing! Thank you for your comment!
Looks like an amazing day. You are fortunate to have such a wonderful family. It took me three tries until I was able to go on my hot air balloon ride. Now you still have something to look forward to. XO
Third time’s charm, Darlene! 🙂 Maybe it will be for me too. Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment!
Aw…thank you for sharing your birthday celebration with us, Jan. I loved seeing all of the photos! I love your new motto! Cheers!
I’m so happy you enjoyed seeing my celebration. I loved sharing. Thank you for leaving a comment!
What a wonderful celebration, Jan. Happy Birthday. I don’t know how you could have fit a balloon ride into that day. Here’s to a lovely year and many more. Drink up. 😀
I had the same thought, Diana, so it all worked out for the best. Thank you for your comment!
Happy 70th, Jan. Looks like a wonderful day. Sorry about the balloon ride, but I’m glad you made the most of the celebration otherwise. 🎂 🎁 🎉 🎈 💐
Thanks, Staci!
A great celebration, Jan. Congratulations.
Thanks, John!
😊
It looks like a splendid birthday, Jan. So nice you could have all your family around you. There was hot air ballooning at the resort where my family spent this past weekend too, but hubby hates heights. When you are married, sometimes you have to be nice and concede to your partners dislikes or anxieties. I would love to try it sometime. Enjoy the rest of the week.
So true, Robbie. But those concessions are so worth it to have a partner to share your life with. Thank you for your comment! Hugs!
How lovely – family, friends, full moon. Could it be more perfect?! I’m so happy for you, Jan. May blessings continue to pour down upon you. 💗
Thank you, Gwen! I wish the same for you!
