The Oldest Youve Ever Been and the Youngest Youll Ever Be Again

Dear Reader:

Yesterday I was in Tuesday Morning getting more wash cloths…I have decided that launder cloths are like socks…they tend to disappear or all of a sudden turn scrungy (is that a word?…well it is now) overnight.

As I went down 1 aisle…I saw the birthday bags and cards. I immediately put on the brakes…September is 1 of those months that definitely put a paring in the erstwhile monthly budget with our family. I am sure your family is similar ours….we tin go 2 or 3 months (tops) without a family altogether and then suddenly….smash…there are iv or five birthdays all bunched together in i month.

I shouldn't be the one commenting since I am "guilty" of a September birthday too….in fact Jakie decided to make my birthday his as well so we could e'er share information technology together. I love it! Makes it even more than special!!!

September starts with Mandy'southward Labor Day birthday (I won't even bother y'all with a mother "labor" day joke) then comes Lassie, me, Jakie…followed up by John on the last solar day of the calendar month.

Back to schoolhouse in our family means Dorsum to Birthdays! But we wouldn't accept it any other style….I can't imagine life without whatsoever of the beautiful September birthday people in information technology. (I am merely overjoyed each year to be here to celebrate another birthday…gift plenty…gift of life.)

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

As soon as I saw her name information technology reminded me that Pam Stewart, a friend from church building, sent me the title of a volume that she thought, as a history teacher, I might enjoy…My Year with Eleanor.

Information technology is similar (in its basic thought) to the popular book Julie & Julia-the volume past blogger Julie Powell based on her idea to endeavor and make each of Julia Kid's recipes over a year'southward fourth dimension. (later made into a 2002 moving-picture show past the aforementioned name)

This time information technology is former blogger/ novelist Noelle Hancock who decided to take Eleanor Roosevelt's advice and practice one scary affair a twenty-four hours…to push herself  outside her comfort zone. The volume has mixed reviews, not as popular equally Julie & Julia,merely nonetheless I retrieve I would enjoy reading it because the author has done her research and tells personal stories about Eleanor that are non mutual knowledge. I love the (Paul Harvey-similar) story behind the story on historical figures.

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

If I get to find a visual with a quote for a blog title entry….one-half the time each visual credits a dissimilar person for the aforementioned quote. There are several websites that practise cypher only debunk all the wrong quote ownership errors. Unfortunately a lot of the fourth dimension they seem to know it is not a certain famous person who is attributed for maxim a specific quote…but they besides don't know who did. It is not an exact science.

I take about decided the time has come to cease putting someone's proper name beside a quote. Like the old game "Gossip"…over time people brainstorm to misquote it, and/or change information technology to match a certain theme. Past the time the quote reappears after several years of changes…fifty-fifty the true author wouldn't recognize it equally his/her own.

I ever feel if someone wants to use something in my weblog to assist make a point with something they are writing in theirs…go for information technology… with my permission. I am writing, not for recognition, simply to pay it forrad with the promise that something that spews out of my neurons some days…will help someone else along the fashion.

So until tomorrow…"Exist what you is, non what y'all ain't; 'crusade if you ain't what you is, you is what you lot ain't." -Maybe Luther Price said it??-  *In other words, don't live a lie…be true to yourself.

I was built-in a Tarheel but concluded upwards a Sandlapper. My grandparents were cotton farmers in Laurens, South Carolina and information technology 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 afterwards get my Masters Degree in Didactics/Social Studies from Charleston Southern. I am soon an offshoot professor/clinical supervisor at CSU and accept also taught at the Higher of Charleston. For 28 years I taught Social Studies through storytelling. My philosophy matched Rudyard Kipling's quote: "If history were taught in the course of stories, it would never be forgotten." Today I still spread this bulletin through workshops and presentations throughout the state. The secret of success in didactics social studies is ever in the story. I desire to keep learning and beingness surprised by life…it is the greatest teacher. Like Kermit said, "When you're greenish yous abound, when y'all're ripe you rot."
