Learning to Accept Challenges Without Expecting Perfection!

Dear Reader!

What a day yesterday was … a day still full of long-term challenges BUT happy hopeful short-term successes that put a smile on a lot of faces!!! Especially mine! Hard work does pay off !!!!!!!!!!!

What I am learning is that perfection is unrealistic but it is the individual uniqueness in us that reveals who we really are!

Good news! For the first time in quite awhile… my bloodwork came back vastly improved… potassium up, blood cells stronger… nutrition levels way up!

Dr Jeter ( oncologist) winked and gave me a ” bye” -no two hour IT pumping fluids in me! As surprised and excited as I was … I was even happier for Mandy and Tommy! They have been my two soldiers standing by me through this s challenging ordeal!!!

So my November Rabbit came through for me but the reality is I still have breast cancer / skin cancer and some skin cancer around my lower back/they both were affected by being off chemo pills for so long while building my stamina back up but some things are out of our control and we have to switch and adjust according.

Appreciate prayers that this time around the nausea pills will allow me to not only tolerate the new chemo pill but keep my appetite continuing-both are vital to success!

So until tomorrow…

Indeed I am!

Today is my favorite day-Winnie the Pooh

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.”
