I had the opportunity today to participate in an event with a new gym that I'll be working with in the new future. I got to team teach a BodyFlow class today. I went a little early just to show some support and chat with some folks. At one point I was standing in the back watching people taking a dance aerobics class. I noticed the daughter of the gym's owner in the class, and then I noticed her mom in front of her... both of them dancing in unison. And suddenly I was 17 years old again... in an aerobics class my mom and I used to take together on the air force base. We would go several times a week and dance around in unison. We would stop and buy a Gatorade for me more often than not. And we would joke and laugh on the way there and on the way back. It was a memory I hadn't thought of in years. And I was sincerely happy to revisit it. I wished Mom could have been there today to see me... but I always wish she were there to see me teach. In a way, since she rarely is far from my thoughts, I suppose she is there.
