When I first moved to "The South" I remember thinking how phony everything was and feeling very out of place.  Southern culture seemed overwhelming and ridiculous.  Everywhere I turned there was a church,  an overly friendly female in a floral printed dress, and people saying "Bless your heart." I soon discovered that there was nothing "phony" or "ridiculous" about this different way of life.  I realized people in The South were actually genuine; down to their hospitality, faith, and their love for family and small towns. Over the past 15 years, I have come to fall in love with The South and everything it has to offer...   Sweat Tea   Front Porches   The Weather   Authentic Faith   Pig Pickins, Fried &Comfort Food   Slower Pace of Life   Country Music & Country Accents   Manners and Opened Doors   Bow Ties and Seer Sucker Suits   Ranch on Everything   Monograms and Pearls   College Football     I could go on!! Seriously, what's not to...
The best way to get the most out of life is to look upon it as a magnificent adventure
