Thankful for Life!

**The Ya Ya’s sent these gorgeous flowers that turned my day into a smile!**

And never a step behind Jo dufford has discovered a way to send ” electronic ” bouquets that sparkle too… a day with flowers to a gal who misses her garden flowers !

This statement is so true! We learn early we can’t t pick out of some box of life and choose only the good things to befall on us… the challenges and tough days will always accompany the exciting fun days!!!

God knows we would never appreciate life if everything automatically fell into place and we never had to prove our courage or love or self-sacrifices!

We must fight for life everyday as we help others do the same so as the Halloween decor and softening pumpkins come down … it is time for our blessing pause-making time for Thanksgiving to God!

So until tomorrow…

Walsh brought my newest grand dog Dolley Dingle over and she and Winnie had a fun time!

More grand dogs … Precious Pip and Atticus

Today is my favorite day… Winnie the Pooh

Aren’t we grateful for all forms of life who make the world a better place and our pets do just that… thank you God!

Had another workout yesterday and then immediately fell fast asleep!!!

When Cindy Ashley sent me Sculpture in the South creation… I had to laugh! Since I am taking every kind of potassium going to raise my I have been consuming lots of bananas!

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.”
