Your Mental Attitude - Cornerstone
Waste of time is one of the most costly expenses on lifes 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 doesnt 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.

Bet it looks like a fairland postcard in your area.
The mud is not that suckup mud in most places so, it's easy to walk on.
I've worn the ice treads 3 times so far and only fell once when I didn't have them on in a small runoff area leading to the pond. The snow was knee deep on that day, but the ice for some reason was not all hard underneath, and I fell in that runoff.
Anyway, alls well that ends well.
I see green branches on the rose bushes. That's God's way of saying spring will come.

Yup...she's in first, one of the perks of working there.
She'll be out well before lunch time, IIRC, and the stay is 3-4 days depending on how her BP behaves.
I'd planned on reminding folks in the AM before we leave.
