Dancing is the best form of exercise there is. Better than walking or running, helps with coordination, memory, balance, muscle strength and it feels so good!
Take a class or just free style it. Belly Dancing is fun!

Enjoy a few pictures from spring. God bless!
The flowers arise, burning our eyes, but it’s worth it!
The love of my life and His message to the world is:
Treat others as you wish to be treated. A very simple concept.
Enjoy the harmony of designs from one single blossom and my computer software. Microsoft PhotoDraw and Ulead PhotoImpact 5.


Scene from frozen this morning after an ice and snow storm. More due tomorrow.
The poor little birds were still eating the ice-covered berries in the trees.
There was virtually no one outside today and so the birds were very active and hungry after waiting out the storm.
Enjoy the diversity of my photo display!

Two birds!
Hoping to keep blogging in 2016. I have to renew next month and I’m not sure I am up to this anymore. I have really lost the enthusiasm I once had to do a good job. I have not been happy with the quality or consistency of my posts since I started. I don’t know if others have this problem. I have always struggled with many issues in my life and you would think by now I would be used to that and just make myself do it for the sake of others enjoyment.
I don’t have the same drive I did when I was younger. I had such high hopes for my life about ten years back but when life keeps punching you in the gut without much of a chance to breathe in between, sooner or later you’re going down whether you like it or not.
That being said. I am planning on stopping my other blog, musingsofamenopausalmaven.com. Maybe if I concentrate on just pogirlshines.me, I’ll do a better job. The other blog was meant to be a place that I was going to bitch about life and the state of our country and the world in general and the ideas I have to do something about it, of which I have many. They are doable, but since fixing things would mean our wealthy and the large corporations would have to start playing fair, probably not going to happen in my lifetime. Besides we all need to say something or do something. They tend not to take a handful of people’s opinion very seriously.
I’ll still get in a number of posts before I quit it and I will have to get serious about this blog or stop it as well. The fact that everyone and his brother and sister blog now, makes me very insignificant in the grand scheme of things, even though we’re all different and we all count. I don’t have a thriving social life at this time since I’m older and I don’t drink or do drugs and I still haven’t found a church that excites me to show up to every week let alone become involved in.
Back to the Photo Challenge at hand. Something vibrant and optimistic. There is something very vibrant about optimism to begin with. I guess it’s not super optimistic to be speaking about quitting something, but I think when you lose your passion for something or someone, it shows.
Spring is the perfect example of Vibrant optimism.

Changing seasons are one of the reasons I love Michigan. There is seldom a dull moment. I actually don’t have a favorite season anymore but I will say I hate oppressive heat and air conditioning which makes me stay north.
We do enjoy glorious seasons in Michigan.
I will also add that I am now in the season of what some call the “Sunset Years.” If this is true, I’m in for one looonnnggg and glorious of those too!
Peace and God bless!Wanted to post a few photographs of some decorations I threw up this year in the tiny apartment I just moved to. I still have some decorations packed away I only realized when I started unpacking what I thought was all of my Christmas stuff. The rest has to be in my storage unit shoved in the back, so not looking for it this year anyway. I have a cute little area with lights that I can enjoy and that’s all I need for now. Besides this is one of the first years I’m not hosting my family for Christmas Eve, which I never post publicly anyway for everyone’s privacy. I may post a few more Christmas stuff later. So glad I was not able to sell the tiny tree at the garage sale held right before I moved!
Enjoy the pictures I tried to take of the Tecumseh Michigan Christmas/Santa Parade. It was held the evening of Friday, December 4th, 2015
