Blogs that inspire

One of the things I love about blogs and blogging is that they inspire, thank you Katie for reminding me how beautiful the south remains to be.

Have you ever tasted something and felt like you were being hugged by your Grandmomma

or listened to a song and found proof that someone has been right where you're standing

or smelled something so familiar it took you right back to the Mrs. Gentry's first grade class

or witnessed something so beautiful your heart lept right out of your chest

These are the things that the south, but no... not just the south, but that Georgia has given to me.

Not just memories, but moments in my life when everything stopped and I was being taught to take life in and take it day by day.

For some reason, I like Katie, have been thinking about it.

Tim and I used to walk down to the river every Sunday and put our feet in and talk about what we wanted our future to look like.

Grandma and I would go to the grocery store and she would tell me whatever I wanted to know about everyone and at the end tell Tim and I that we needed to go to church more (she gets wiser everyday).

I would climb in my car and go have lunch at school with Keelie at a school I dreamed of teaching at.

We would stand out in the Crews backyard and watch one of the most amazing sunsets I've ever seen (the night sky in the country is something to be seen).

Dusti and I would leave everything behind and head off to Twila Faye's for tea and sandwiches and the best cheese straws you ever put in your mouth.

I would gather every holiday with my Momma's family of over fifty and love on everyone.

I can go on for days.

Mmmmmm...

There is something so sweet about that place.
