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.

First call since Christmas, although he does e-mail once or twice a week.
All is well; he was just coming off patrol, getting ready to hit the chow hall (at 1:00 a.m.???) and then sack out.
My birthday was a couple of weeks ago; he said he sent me a package last week, but won't give me any hints.:)

Right now I live on planet "work and no news". I told GB yesterday that Augustine was quiet.....guess what, SHE IS SPEWING AGAIN!! Look what was going on and I didn't even know it.
Augustine Volcano spews a steady stream of ash around 3 p.m. Saturday. Pilot Cary Foster photographed the volcano while flying his PA-30 Twin Comanche between Kodiak and Anchorage. The ash cloud was drifting south-southeast. Photo by CARY FOSTER
