monday's memory: the one with the cheerleaders

do you ever feel like you've lived several lifetimes?

one right after another

seemingly not connected at all?

this was 5 years ago

i was a cheerleading coach

(yeah)

i had never cheered, never coached, and was certainly not interested

but the assignment (and extra stipend) came

and i agreed

those girls

drove me crazy

rocked my world with their perceptions

caused me to think about what i was doing to my own body

as i lectured them about what they put into theirs

and made my life

infinitely better

for coaching them
