I was busted...Dancin'!

What's a girl to do when she's all alone and the rhythm grabs her? That girl dances her little heart out!
Today, I was going through my closet, trying to do a bit of spring cleaning. There are so many outfits in my closet that don't fit or are out of style...or that I just plain forgot about,so it was time to be out with the old and make room for the new!
As I rummaged through all of the old gear, I came across this old skirt that I used to wear for my string group that I played with many moons ago. Yes, Natalina plays the fiddle, and I hadn't seen that skirt in ages! I remember how much I loved it because when you twirl, it whirls out around you. I decided to try it on. It's a big old skirt, so I pulled it up over my chest, making it into a kind of funky strapless dress.
I looked at myself in the mirror, and started spinning around, loving the way the skirt billowed out all around me. I knew there was only one thing to do. I went to my CD player and cranked up a little Galway Girl (you can hear the exact version I was listening to toward the bottom of the following post:Beta Girl's Ultimate Romantic Music Guide).
I love that song, and I was just dancing around and spinning in my living room, flailing my arms about over my head. Jumping and skipping, and whirling about, I failed to notice that I was no longer alone.
"Uh, sis?"
I stopped and noticed to my initial horror that my little brother and his friend had walked into my apartment, and were both staring at me. Apparently, they had come over looking for my level headed guidance in matters related to some issues they were having at work. As we stood there looking at each other, I decided that there was only one thing I could do to relieve the awkward moment.
I started the song over, grabbed their hands, and started dancing again. After a few moments of looking at me like I was a freak, I guess they decided to succumb to the infectious rhythm of the song, and soon, we were all three dancing away!
As the song ended, I collapsed on the couch, out of breath, and proceeded to advise the boys on how to handle their dilemma. But, hopefully after a visit with crazy old me, their problems seemed a little less burdensome. Nothing eases the pressure of life's stresses like a good old twirl around the room!

That's right. And if you don't know or can't dance, sing!
Music is the key! Sing, dance or play, whichever you like!
