Friendly Selfies!

Hi, I just had a rough day at work. Are you familiar with tough work days? Now I need to have some fun. I am now on a mission to find a way to create slideshow video’s. My selfie folder makes me smile when I look at these images. Needing a pick me up, I have decided to create a slideshow for my week’s post.

It has taken me a bit of time to figure out which software program would be best. Then I had to conquer how to use said software! The software I have chosen is Movavi. It is available for either Windows or Mac.

There are several different programs available for making slideshows. Some are free, with limits and options to upgrade to a paid version without limits. I selected the personal license for Movavi which comes with plenty of basic elements, transitions and such. Comment if you have any questions about my selected slideshow maker.

The pictures were taken by not only myself, but family and friends have shared with me some they took. Please enjoy the show!!

The video will then appear.

In my prior post, ‘Selfies, Take Part in Pictures, I had mentioned we are our own self critics. Practicing taking our own pictures give us the opportunity to see what angle our head needs to be at, where to look when taking the photo and just getting used to seeing ourself in pictures. The more you see yourself, the more comfortable you will be each time seeing yourself in your selfies!

Slideshows are wonderful for special occasion celebrations- graduation, weddings, birthday, anniversaries and even end of life services. Slideshows add life to photo’s! My goal is to provide different formats when I share my photo’s.

Take Care. Best wishes, Debra

Fun at the Kansas City Zoo.

Hi, I had a fun birthday weekend with my family at the Kansas City Zoo. Happy birthday to me!

The morning began with eating breakfast out. I ordered a two egg omelet with cheese, bacon, green onion and tomato. After breakfast my daughter and her family picked me up to go to the zoo. It was for sure a fun birthday. It did make me realize a few things.

Firstly, I want to do better of taking pictures through out my adventures. There were things the grand girls did that I never took a picture. For example when they slid down the slide instead of using the stairs. I never took images of our lunch, what we ordered and the menu to show the high cost of ordering on zoo grounds. The thought of bringing a picnic lunch didn’t even come to mind until I saw the prices. One bottle of water was $5.00. Ouch, a family of 4 would be 20 bucks.

Secondly, my weight. My age, working from home, not getting out among other things I have been telling myself when I look in the mirror. This adventure to the zoo made me realize how my weight is affecting me. And it is not good. From this day forward, I will take more responsibility to do something for myself to improve my health. I want to be like my Aunt Phyllis was. When she was 80 she could keep up with my dancing when I was 50. She looked amazing. That is how I want to be when I am 80.

My inspiration in aging, my Aunt Phyllis.

#52 Walk two miles 3x a week.
#53 Do nightly excersizes 3x a week. Opposite nights from above walking goal.

These two will be a work in progress. And to keep a journal of progress, I will include a selfie of me each post. And hopefully this will show the change/progress of my efforts.

Take Care. Best wishes, Debra

March 101 in 1001 update.

Hi, I had a very pleasurable weekend spent with my daughter and her family. My Son in law’s brother was there too. Nothing big planned. Just time with them. We watched a movie Saturday night. I was pleased that little Brynlee wanted to cuddle while watching the live action Aladdin. Brie was upstairs with the guys.

All of us slept in Sunday. Shaune (son in law) made scratch pancakes with chocolate chips. Breakfast was delicious. After breakfast Brynlee wanted to put a puzzle together. I sat back and observed them, taking in the atmosphere. My heart full!

#54, getting 8 hours sleep is proving to not be as easy as I had hoped it would be. My sleep tracker on my Apple Watch shows I am sleeping the 8 hours. However my ResMed app reflects mostly 7.5 hours.

March update
#54 Get 8 hrs sleep

After my wreck in Sept 2019 causing me to stay at my daughter’s home for 3 weeks; my daughter and son in law suggested that I have my sleep monitored. Apparently I snored. So I did as they suggested. My doctor prescribed the sleep test. Sure enough I have sleep apnea. Using the CPAP machine has definitely made an improvement. I seem to focus better and transpose letters, numbers less.

March I have only worked on two of my monthly average of 3. I will continue to work on my 101 in 1001. I am hoping you all hold me accountable on my goals and giving updates!

Take Care. Best wishes, Debra
