"Stress is all about control, or a lack of it,
so if you do something to regain control, your anxiety will disappear."

~ Louise Atkinson, Secrets of the stress busters.

"CHIN LIFTERS"

Smile For Today ~

"Of all the excuses there are

By which this old world is accursed

This 'haven't got time' is by far

The poorest, the feeblest, the worst.

A delusion it is, and a snare;

If the habit is yours, you should shake it,

For if you want to do what is offered to you

You'll either find time or you'll make it!"

~ Detroit Free Press

"Chin Lifters" were originally published in pamphlet form in the early 1930's ~ a project initiated by Richardson, Bond & Wright.  Submitted entries ~ "Chin Lifters" ~ were to give a 'lift' to spirits weighted by the anxieties, discouragements and despairs of a great depression."

The above excerpt is one entry in a resulting book, 100 CHIN LETTERS, published in 1954.

"I had six honest serving men ~ they taught me all I know.  Their names were WHERE and WHAT and WHEN ~ and WHY and HOW and WHO."

~ Rudyard Kipling (1865 - 1936) English author, poet.

"It was on Easter Monday, April 9, 1917, and not on any other date, that Canada Became a nation."

~ Captain D. J. Goodspeed, The Road Past Vimy
