Sometimes We Just Need A Little ” Boost!”

Dear Reader:

Today’s Post is just going to need a little extra ” Push from God.” Halfway though the dance recital Sunday afternoon… I started shaking. It felt like the air conditioner had been turned up… and I was freezing!

I had worn my straw hat since it was raining in order to keep the rain from running down my neck…the rain pouring back out to the parking lot afterwards helped also.

My beautiful talented Eloise!

The hat did help the cold air from settling directly on my neck and head… but it was still frigid. I was scrunched up in a ball.

By the time I left to head back to Summerville it was already past 7 and the rainy dark clouds were opening up…and lightning was putting on a show…

As soon as I got home… I fixed some soup and fell asleep … only to wake up in the wee hours burning up and sick to my stomach…

Yesterday was a roller coaster ride… I had gotten a new lap tray and was excited about eating on my new lap tray but then I fell asleep again and slept most of the day!

I spent yesterday gulping big glasses of water and attempting some toast and fruit on my new laptop tray.

As of this writing ( 6:30) evening… I feel a little better and praying the nausea is over. I am not a good nausea patient!

So until tomorrow… I would appreciate some prayers coming my way… it is a busy week and praying I don’t have to cancel anything! Grandmother has many obligations… please pray for God to help me…

Today is my favorite day… Winnie the Pooh

All my prayers went out Sunday night as Walsh and Rutledge were returning from Charlotte… I was so relieved they got home safe and sound. Now I want to wake up today feeling like Boo again!

Eloise loved her bouquet Sunday!

And she wanted so badly to get a trophy since her brothers’ rooms have them… to date she has never gotten one for the dance recital… but when all the performers came out to take their last bow… they all had trophies… Eloise was beaming!

Happiness is… !!!!!!

About Becky Dingle

I was born a Tarheel but ended up a Sandlapper. My grandparents were cotton farmers in Laurens, South Carolina and it was in my grandmother’s house that my love of storytelling began beside an old Franklin stove. When I graduated from Laurens High School, I attended Erskine College (Due West of what?) and would later get my Masters Degree in Education/Social Studies from Charleston Southern. I am presently an adjunct professor/clinical supervisor at CSU and have also taught at the College of Charleston. For 28 years I taught Social Studies through storytelling. My philosophy matched Rudyard Kipling’s quote: “If history were taught in the form of stories, it would never be forgotten.” Today I still spread this message through workshops and presentations throughout the state. The secret of success in teaching social studies is always in the story. I want to keep learning and being surprised by life…it is the greatest teacher. Like Kermit said, “When you’re green you grow, when you’re ripe you rot.”
