I was born in the South and lived most of my life in the South. I'm proud of my southern roots and firmly believe that southern graciousness is a gift that everyone should strive for.
My sister sent me an email this morning on the difference between friends and southern friends. I thought it was cute so would pass it along to all my southern friends (your geography doesn't make you Southern....it's your heart attitude).

friends: Never ask for food.
Southern friends: Always bring the food ... and lots of it.
friends: Will say "hello."
Southern friends: Will give you a big hug and a kiss.
friends: Call your parents Mr. and Mrs.
Southern friends: Call your parents Mom and Dad.
friends: Have never seen you cry.
Southern friends: Cry with you and for you.
friends: Will eat at your dinner table and leave.
Southern friends: Will spend hours there talking, laughing and just being with you, then do the dishes before leaving.
friends: Know a few things about you.
Southern friends: Could write a book with direct quotes from you, and know you better than you do yourself.
friends: Will leave you behind if that's what the crowd is doing.
Southern friends: Will kick the whole crowds' back-ends that left you, then walk beside you in the front of the crowd.
friends: Would knock on your door.
Southern friends: Walk right in and say, "I'm home!" If you are not home, they will wait.
friends: Are for awhile.
Southern friends: Are for life.
