I realized the other day that YOU ARE NEVER TOO OLD to try something new. And boy did I try something different.
I was invited to meet the Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders as they practiced their dancing routine. Not only did I get to learn their moves, but I also got a humbling invitation to dress just like them…..yep, you guessed it, I wore one of those tiny, teeny outfits.
At first, I was skeptical. My mind kept racing. (”am i crazy? this skirt is too tiny. my tummy will show. I am too old. They are all so young. I am twice their age.)
So then I thought, “let me try it on and see how it looks.”
I must have stared in the mirror for what seemed like a lifetime. I was remembering my days in high school when I was a cheerleader on the sidelines. I was wondering how my husband would react if I got home wearing this. And then reality hit me and I panicked. I panicked because I was about to face 38 cheerleaders between the ages of 18-24. All beautiful, young, and loaded with collagen.
Did I back out? NO. I said what the heck! You only live once! And then with a chuckle and a big smile, I walked out proud…. “let me give these young girls something to look forward to when they get to be my age!”
I had the time of my life!
