| A selfie taken at Big Rock Garden |
There's an art to taking selfies, and I'm learning, little by little. At least my nose doesn't look any different than it usually does; in my normal selfies I don't get the camera far enough away, due to my short arms. Just a bit higher and it would have been better. This was taken at a pit stop during our 5.5-mile walk this morning with the ladies. Fifteen of us showed up, and if it doesn't snow tonight, we'll meet for our annual New Year's Day gathering at Lake Padden, for once around the lake and then coffee and goodies.

The "wintry mix" held off while we were walking, and hopefully it will move through quickly. Next week we have some very cold weather coming, but for now it's just normal winter. This afternoon I'm going to see
Manchester By the Sea, which was given rave reviews by all these ladies who have already seen it. It's playing at our local independent theater, so it seems like just the right thing to do for the last day of a very long year. Maybe it seemed to be longer because of the contentious election season, or maybe because of the long list of some of my favorite celebrities who left us this year. In any event, I'm glad to see it gone! Better times are ahead, I just know it.
:-)
So true. Better times ahead! Happy New Year, Jan.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!

I have one crazy friend that I share selfies with... silly, but fun. Love yours! Wishing you a wonderful 2017!
ReplyDeleteI posted a selfie on Facebook this morning. It's just OK, but then I never like photos of myself.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are hopeful for the new year. My your hopes be realized.
Happy New Year my dear friend!
ReplyDeleteI'm still learning how to shoot the perfect selfie too. Happy New year to you! I've been wanting to ski Mt Baker so if I make it that way this winter, I'll have to look you up. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year. Live each day as if it was your last. Enjoy life to the fullest.
ReplyDeleteThe snow didn't stay away here! Another 10" or so, and we had to cancel our plans to visit my sister. A nice quiet day at home, with an hour or two of snow-blowing!
ReplyDeleteYou are right DJan - it has been a long year and I do think the election had a lot to do with it. Let's hope 2017 will be a better year that will see more people reaching out to one another in kindness. I'm glad the weather cooperated for your walk today and I hope it will do the same for your New Year's walk.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year DJan!
Looks like fun with your hikers. I hope you get out again with them if the weather permits.
ReplyDeleteI have heard good things about that movie. I hope you do a review. Happy New Year, my cyber-friend. :)
Happy new year, my fitness idol! :)
ReplyDeleteB and I saw Manchester by the Sea yesterday, on New Year's Eve. We knew it would be depressing and it lived up to its billings, but it was very well done, and ... wait, you're going to see it so I'll leave the rest up to you.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you aren't the only one in your group with a passion for purple.
ReplyDeleteI am hoping 2017 will be better but am pretty sure we won't be bored.
Boy, it does look cold over there. But, there you are having coffee with your friends. Excellent!
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll tell us what you think of "Manchester." We're going to see "Fences" soon, and maybe "LaLa Land."
ReplyDeleteLove love love the new selfie!!
ReplyDeleteHappy new year dear one!!
Love your smile. We have been having many ice storms and everything is frozen with ice and more freezing rain. My greetings to you dear DJan for a lovely new year......wanna go skating 😀
