"A perfect world"
The reason I posted the Sat. night fever video is because last weekend a local live theatre held "disco dance night" I couldn't go, but I thought about how in a perfect world My city, and every city would have at least one club that offers disco dance night a minimum of once a week. ;)

"The Power of Music"
Perhaps it's true that most people are moved by music. But with me, it doesn't just move me, it completely transforms me.
There are 3+ folks in Mountain Town who, whenever they see me instead of asking me:
"How are you?"
they ask:
"How are you sunshine?"
"Are you still singing?"
It absolutely does not matter how I feel physically or emotionally music but especially live music transforms me instantly, like a drug.
last Friday, I was on my way to a meeting (where no one showed) and I discovered an exceptional free outdoor live concert in the city square.
Within 20 minutes I felt CONSUMED with joy. People ask me multiple times a day how can you have lived through so much yet still smile, sing , dance?
The only folks who are not too shy to dance are:
a 3 year old
a very drunk man
and a cowboy
There were some couples dancing but not on the stage. One old hippie from N.M. who was with his wife couples dancing for nearly an hour said to me: "Come on babe, let's dance" so he motioned me toward the stage.
I can't NOT DANCE!
So, I went down there with the old hippie, then later the drunk guy and the 3 year old and danced. One of the band members seems very pleased that I'm dancing and many folks in the audience have video cams. It's a classic rock band that can do ABSOLUTELY ANY COVER PERFECTLY.
As far as how can a person, sing or dance or smile of they have survived so much? There are certain things a person is born with and irrespective of what they survive those traits will always be there.
My musical soul cannot be taken away. ;)

Symptoms bizarre and mysterious
A couple of times a year I wake up feeling rested. It will feel as if I could accomplish 6 to 8 hours worth of tasks. Not an hour and a half later, I'll be out and about and my eyes will get very heavy and I have no choice but to return home. With fm (fibromyalgia) sleep is not typically restful.
When possible, especially now that winter is setting in; I'll do one day home, one day out. I'm extremely limited with the pain, the weakness and the nerve damage.
On one of my happiest days in "Mountain Town" I was telling a driver who I hitched a ride with that the joy of the day was so big I had no words to describe it. It was in June, and I had discovered despite all of my serious illnesses that I still had the capacity to hula hoop AND dance.
The driver also had lyme disease like me! When I told her how long it was before I got treated, she stated that:
"untreated lyme sometimes leads to Lou Gehrig's disease! I told her it didn't surprise me because I've had frequent symptoms over the last 6 years that seem to mimic those of Lou Gehrig's disease. ;(
(But my friend randy* is a lyme disease expert and never mentioned a link between the 2 diseases.)
You would be surprised how many people out in society look perfectly healthy but have one or more serious diseases. Many folks (including myself) look healthy but definitely r not.
