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!
