Historical Tidbit:
CAN YOU IMAGINE
My Great Grandparents on my father's side bought a new kitchen stove June 28, 1901 for $13.00, the "oven section" was $3.00, a can for gasoline $1.00 and 5 gallons of gasoline $1.00 for a total of $18.00.

One wonders what they would think of today's prices.

Choices
“Attitude is a choice. Happiness is a choice. Optimism is a choice. Kindness is a choice. Giving is a choice. Respect is a choice. Whatever choice you make makes you. Choose wisely.”
~ Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart
"I think most of us are raised with preconceived notions of the choices we're supposed to make. We waste so much time making decisions based on someone else's idea of our happiness - what will make you a good citizen or a good wife or daughter or actress. Nobody says, 'Just be happy - go be a cobbler or go live with goats.' "
~ Sandra Bullock
"A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events and outcomes. It is a catalyst and it sparks extraordinary results." ~ Wade Boggs
|
It's all about what we do with our time. What we say and how we say it; what we do and how we do it.
The Power of Positive changes lives.
