Yesterday I decided to play around with making a story via Snapchat.

For someone of my generation it is difficult to take “snaps” and not save them as we grew up saving photos – I mean actual pictures you can touch – then when digital format came out we still want to save them to look at later. Therefore, a program that makes your images disappear after 24hrs seems strange.

If you don’t know already, Snapchat allows you to have a story and you post your videos or pics as you capture a moment of your day. Its biggest draw is the selfies with various animations or face contortions.

Anyway, I decided to see what it would be like to save what I capture and then later put it into a movie.

My movie is not very interesting and was a bit of work, though not as much as it might seem. However, I think I have a new appreciation for just living in the moment. We do not really need to save the mundane unless it is for a video documentary like this…. Besides, I am not really planning on becoming a video blogger or anything like that any time soon…..

So, I think I’ll try more to enjoy the moment by moment offering that Snapchat is. At least it was fun to have a little impromptu project for the day. πŸ˜€

Day 16: Β What about your body are you grateful for?

As a woman of 40, I am pleased to feel as if my body is in the best shape of my life. While most of the time we strive to retain our bodies from our 20s when we took for granted that we could eat whatever we wanted with little to no exercise, I am happy to say that my body is better than my 20’s body. Regular yoga practice has definitely made my body what it is now. In fact, I exercise less at a gym than ever before and sweat a lot less. πŸ˜› So, I am grateful that my body is looking fiiiiine for my age. I am also always working on the inside health by trying to eat well, though the past month or so has been a bit of a slip since we are not in our own kitchen space. However, that is soon to change and it will be back to healthy Paleo living again! πŸ˜€
