Sports, Family, and Love… A Winning Combination… ( Finally!)

Dear Reader:

The family got together yesterday to watch the Clemson-Notre Dame game….at Tommy and Kaitlyn.

I must admit I was a little hesitant… I love my Clemson Tigers so much, as well as, Coach Dabo, I want them to win and play their best out of pure love. It hurts so when it goes a different way! Though my love never alters.

As we all know the Tigers have been their own worse opponents in several last minute mistake games but still life is played out on the football field…. we have to learn from mistakes and improve upon them!

Yesterday was no exception but watching the game with not only kindred family but kindred Clemson ardent fans makes the shared ending so much more do-able!

Yesterday was another mail biter ending as that clock just wouldn’t tick fast enough for me! But Hallelujah we ended up on the right side of the clock and scoreboard!

A happy family encircled in shouts of joy… a long time coming! A special memory!

Today is my favorite day-Winnie the Pooh

So until tomorrow share your family’s outside activities and turn up the love!

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.”
