Autumn Whispered to the Wind, ” I fall…but always rise again.”

Dear Reader:

Dear Reader:

Another God Wink… as soon as I read this… I thought ” Exactly… every time we fall and wonder if we will rise again… God assures us we will.” Why do we put ourselves through these temporary doubting periods… I am determined to stop it as much as humanly possible… my birthday wish is for a renewed year of faith, life, joy, and adventure!” Watch out world!

Today fall has fallen! It is official! Even though in the Lowcountry our leaves won’t start turning colors and falling until closer to Halloween …still we can all enjoy that Harvest Moon as it begins to grow bigger and bigger each night until October 29 when the beautiful full Harvest Moon reveals all its gorgeous orange glow!!! Can hardly wait! Even the sunsets now are a brilliant red glow.

Last Year’s Harvest Moon

This idea really got my light bulb burning… I am going through a strange fluke detour getting to my destination of renewed strength and energy through a new drug but in the big picture… this is just an annoyance… I am still moving forward ! Think about it… we usually get what we ask for or at least what we need… but it rarely comes in the package you think it is supposed to come in. Life loves surprises!

Today is my favorite day-Winnie the Pooh

Go my Clemson Tigers! I love you!

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.”

    Catching up on the last few days of the blog and distressed to hear you’re not feeling well. Hoping and praying for some healing to come your way very soon.

      I will get there… bad timing with the flu bug hitting while off my cancer medicines-got me at most vulnerable but my fever broke last night taking the chills and fever with it … hopefully on the mend and will be ready for my new cancer medicine coming in next week…👍💗
