Your Mental Attitude - Cornerstone

Waste of time is one of the most costly ex­penses on life’s ledger . . .
it can never be reimbursed.

Thousands of people would never have expe­rienced the bitterness and helplessness
of want if they had not first been guilty of WASTE.

There is a constant dissipation of thought and feeling, just as there is of physical energies. Each in turn exacts its heavy toll from us.

Dissipation of thought and feeling proves wasteful and ruinous to the mind and heart
the same process is equally as destructive to health and strength of the body.

As one man puts it: “Dreamy revelries, desul­tory reading, unregulated and scattering thought, plans formed without reason, or never carried out to wise results, are as truly dissipation of the soul as the wildest revelries and indulgences are of the body.”

Waste produces decay, stagnation, barrenness,
unproductivity, lack, ruin, destruction, want.

Wasting time on the job or money from our savings doesn’t make much difference…
both have the same end result.

Squandering or wasting time can never be accurately tabulated for us, but most of us are keenly aware of how destructive it can be and how terrifically costly.

YOU can do something about it by develop­ing the habit of thrift. By substituting thrift for waste, you will have made an extremely valuable forward step.

Cultivate this important thrift habit in all things . . . be saving of your time .. . on the job or off . . . saving of materials and equip­ment . . . on the job or off . . . thrifty with physical energies . . . thrifty with unregulated and scattered thinking. .

It will pay YOU big dividends in all direc­tions to cultivate this all-important habit of being thrifty with your time, energy, thoughts and material possessions. Learn to be careful in avoiding waste or dissipation in the small things and the larger ones will automatically fall into the same pattern.

It is entirely up to YOU during each day to calculate and control WHAT PRICE you want to pay for WASTE. We never fail because we are too thrifty in safeguarding our time, thoughts or physical energies . . . but because we are not thrifty enough.

Oh, the enviorwackos. Unbelievable Ma. I'd be afraid to drive. What does someone do if they break down in such an extreme cold temperature. To them, it's just the winter. :) Incredible to me.

We just watched a show where a famous football player, Larry Csonka, was rescued in Alaska by Alaska's Coast Guard. He signed a football to one in of the Coast Guardsman - Thanks for pulling my *** out of the water. :)

HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,
IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

That's only if we, their men, let them forget...

[GodBlessUSA]

:) Woo Hoo HiJinx

Thanks, ms feather, for the Canteen Blessing for the Troops.

We hate having to sleep on the wet pot: A traveler naps by an odd sign in Taipei's domestic Sungshan Airport before her flight home for the lunar new year holiday.

With ski wax: In Zarautz, Spain, they're waxing down their surfboards, they can't wait for June.

[MeekMom]

wow where do you find such gorgeous pictures?
You must be an artist Meg. Are you?

[Fast Moving Angel]

Hi, DW ... how's it going?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Take a right after the third Reebok and look for a pair of Florsheims: Highway beautification need not be prohibitively expensive, as Lewistown, Mont., demonstrates

[MeekMom]

wow. now that's something I've never seen before!
Cool Lady Jag!

[StarCMC]

Gosh Kathy - you find some of the funniest news stories! LOL

[Kathy in Alaska]

It's a good thing he knows who to thank. The Coast Guard has an unbelievably hard job up here because of the weather. God bless them for what they do.

[Cindy]

You're welcome Kathy.

Yep, I love Sundays.

I hope you are having a good day.

It snowed today when coming out of church, but it
was that dandruff like snow-- hardly any big chunks
and no ice. Good deal.

How's the snow there?

[GodBlessUSA]

Working on chores today. I'm having a lazy Sunday here. Even convinced Hubby to cook dinner. LOL

[MeekMom]

Hi friend! How are you this fine Sunday?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Makes you wonder sometimes what a photographer is thinking. LOL!
