Today Is the Oldest Youve Ever Been and the Youngest Youll Ever Be Again

Love Reader:

Yesterday I was in Tuesday Morning time getting more wash cloths…I accept decided that wash cloths are like socks…they tend to disappear or suddenly turn scrungy (is that a give-and-take?…well it is now) overnight.

As I went down ane alley…I saw the altogether bags and cards. I immediately put on the brakes…September is 1 of those months that definitely put a dent in the old monthly budget with our family. I am sure your family is like ours….we can go ii or three months (tops) without a family unit birthday and and then of a sudden….boom…there are four or five birthdays all bunched together in one calendar month.

I shouldn't exist the i commenting since I am "guilty" of a September altogether too….in fact Jakie decided to make my birthday his also so we could always share it together. I love it! Makes it fifty-fifty more than special!!!

September starts with Mandy's Labor Twenty-four hours birthday (I won't even bother you lot with a female parent "labor" day joke) then comes Lassie, me, Jakie…followed upwardly past John on the last day of the month.

Back to school in our family ways Back to Birthdays! But we wouldn't take it any other mode….I can't imagine life without any of the beautiful September birthday people in it. (I am but overjoyed each year to be here to celebrate some other birthday…gift enough…gift of life.)

The title quote today came off a birthday card I got for Mandy since she will starting time the celebrations this Labor Day weekend. How I do adore Eleanor Roosevelt and her common sense approach to life.

Equally soon as I saw her name it reminded me that Pam Stewart, a friend from church, sent me the title of a book that she thought, as a history instructor, I might bask…My Year with Eleanor.

It is similar (in its basic idea) to the popular volume Julie & Julia-the book past blogger Julie Powell based on her idea to try and make each of Julia Child'southward recipes over a year's time. (later made into a 2002 movie by the same proper name)

This time it is former blogger/ novelist Noelle Hancock who decided to take Eleanor Roosevelt's advice and practice 1 scary thing a day…to push herself  outside her comfort zone. The book has mixed reviews, not every bit popular equally Julie & Julia,but however I think I would enjoy reading it because the author has done her research and tells personal stories almost Eleanor that are not common knowledge. I beloved the (Paul Harvey-similar) story backside the story on historical figures.

One of the criticisms of the book centers effectually the famous Eleanor Roosevelt quote: "Do i thing every day that scares you." One critic complained that Eleanor Roosevelt didn't even say that quote…and attributed it to someone else. Personally I notice that trouble all the time.

If I go to notice a visual with a quote for a blog championship entry….one-half the time each visual credits a different person for the same quote. There are several websites that practice cypher but debunk all the incorrect quote ownership errors. Unfortunately a lot of the time they seem to know it is not a certain famous person who is attributed for saying a specific quote…simply they likewise don't know who did. Information technology is not an exact science.

I have near decided the time has come to stop putting someone'due south name beside a quote. Like the old game "Gossip"…over time people brainstorm to misquote it, and/or modify information technology to match a sure theme. By the time the quote reappears later on several years of changes…even the truthful author wouldn't recognize information technology equally his/her own.

I e'er experience if someone wants to use something in my weblog to assistance make a point with something they are writing in theirs…get for it… with my permission. I am writing, not for recognition, merely to pay it forward with the promise that something that spews out of my neurons some days…will help someone else forth the mode.

And so until tomorrow…"Be what you is, not what you own't; 'cause if you lot own't what you is, you lot is what you lot ain't." -Maybe Luther Price said information technology??-  *In other words, don't alive a prevarication…be truthful to yourself.

About Becky Dingle

I was born a Tarheel but ended upward a Sandlapper. My grandparents were cotton farmers in Laurens, South Carolina and it was in my grandmother'due south business firm that my love of storytelling began beside an one-time Franklin stove. When I graduated from Laurens High School, I attended Erskine College (W of what?) and would later become my Masters Degree in Education/Social Studies from Charleston Southern. I am presently an offshoot 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 e'er in the story. I want to keep learning and existence surprised by life…it is the greatest teacher. Like Kermit said, "When y'all're green y'all grow, when you're ripe y'all rot."
