COINTEST

 

 

I feel like a little cointest, so here goes ...............

 

 

 

 

I have just finished makng 9 of the Wooden Nickels pictured here. Each one is numbered on the back ...

.... #001 to #009.

 

Post a thought for the Today, or the rest of it. I will pick the 9 that I like the best and send a Thoughtful Penny Wooden Nickel to the ones I choose. These nickels have been already packaged to mail out so I don't know which number is in which envelope. Once you recieve your wooden Nickel, post here that you have recieved it . DON'T post which number you have.. Once all nickels have been recieved and posted, I will do a Random Number Drawing from #001 to #009 . The person that has that number on their wooden nickel WINS a - TRAVELING 2 CENTS Geocoin -.

 

1 post per person

No editing

If two people post the same thought, the first to post it, gets it.

Sounds like a cool cointest!

 

Here's my thought for the day. I try to live by it every day. grins

 

"Never put off 'til tomorrow what you can put off 'til next week."

[+ECplus3]

Here's my thought du jour:

 

Why is a building called a 'building'. Once construction is finished, shouldn't it be called a 'built'?

Good Morning Opalsns

 

 

Just the Golden Rule "Do Unto Others as You would Have done to you"

[+usyoopers]

The other yooper and I are self-employed so we deal with all kinds, all day. I repeat this mantra daily-

 

"CTMOT"- (Can't Tick Me Off Today)

 

It actually works!

[+Mikey-Likes-It]

For us procrastinators out there.

 

"The secret of getting ahead is getting started."

From my signature lines below.....................

 

"May your geocaching trails be lined with gold, and the geocaches you find be filled with happiness."

 

My wish for all geocachers!

4 Simple words to live by...

 

"Happy wife...Happy Life"

[+luckycharmer]

What have you done today to make this a happier world?

[+Sparticus06]

Nothing good for this world is ever attained without sacrifice. Nothing great in life is ever achieved without hard work. Nothing that we give to others, out of the goodness of our heart, is ever given without giving away a small piece of ourselves.

I had posted a thought some days ago in the wooden nickel thread, but here I will post the things I am following in my life!

 

Sorry if they are actually 2 thoughts, but I will combine them!

these are for today and every day for the rest of your life!!!

 

"Never do things to othrs that you wouldn't like others to do to you! No matter what others did to you, always remember: Anger and hate makes you human, but forgiveness makes you great and brings you closer to God!"

Your in the right place Gatoulis.

I had to cancel the other cointest and moved it here!!!!!!!!

[+Degai]

Wow! I love this cointest and I love everyone's thoughts! I'll definitely have to write these down!

 

My thought and something I try to live by:

 

"Real stupidity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

[+Clan Doyle]

Here's my thought, and it has proven true over and over...

 

"That which does not kill me...usually hurts alot and tends to tick me off"

[29HarvickFan]

I'm going to go with a quote by the late, great Dale Earnhardt:

"Finishing races is important, but WINNING races is more important"

[+SgtMikal]

I absolutely LOVE this cointest!! What a wonderful way to spread positivity! Thanx for starting this! And it is such a neat idea, too! OK...here goes...

 

"Where there's a shadow, there's a light."

 

That is a line out of a song by Petra, intended to remind the listeners (or readers in this case) that wherever you are experiencing trouble, someone is there to help. Along the lines of the main thought in the Footprints poem - "During your times of trial and suffering

when you saw only one set of footprints...That was when I carried you."

[+The Fossillady]

Everything happens for a reason, we just might have to figure out that reason.

[+catsnfish]

Be calm in the face of all common disgraces

And know what they're doin' it for

And the house you live in will never fall down

If you pity the stranger who stands at your door

[8ball9ball]

The thing you will have the longest is your life. Get the most out of it.

Well, this is what I always say.

 

Use your money to buy things and they're bound to break. Use your money to travel and the memories will last forever.

[+sunsetmeadowlark]

Great cointest!!

 

Last night I lay in bed looking up at the stars in the sky and I thought to myself, where the heck is the ceiling.

[+pdquix]

Remember that GOD allways answers prayer, but be prepared because sometimes the answer is no!

[+Frank n Beck]

And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years! So take care of those priorities in your life - Family & Friends.

[+LadyBee4T]

Life is not a marathon. Rather it is a relay race and we pass the baton to the next generation.

 

Frank n Beck's reminds me of the Beatles song "In the end the love you take is equal to the love you make"

[+Team CeDo]

Thought for the day.

 

If you can start the day without caffeine

If you can get going without pep pills

If you can always be cheerful ignoring aches and pains

If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles

If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it

If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time

If you can overlook it when those you love take it out on you when through no fault of yours something goes wrong

If you can take criticism and blame without resentment

If you can ignore a friend's limited education and never correct him

If you can resist treating a rich friend better than a poor friend

If you can face the world without lies and deceit

If you can conquer tension without medical help

If you can relax without liquor

If you can sleep without the aid of drugs

 

.....Then You Are Probably The Family Dog!

[lorca.nl]

Here us my quote for the day... It is a long time favorite of mine...

 

 

The life which is unexamined is not worth living--Plato

[+Tha Saint]

"Carpe diem. Seize the day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary."

 

-Dead Poets Society

[+sweetlife]

Here is one me and my husband only had on our profile when we met online and we still swear by it.

 

 

<H2 class=articleSubtitle>It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone; but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Don’t go for looks; they can be deceiving. Don’t go for wealth, for even wealth fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a little smile to brighten your day.</H2>

 

Thanks for the cointest, lovely little token.

[+drneal]

Tell that special someone you love them today, you might not be able to tomorrow.

 

thanks for the cointest...it's dejavu all over again!

.... If the one you love pis____ you off and makes you laugh in the same sentence, They're a keeper!!!!!

[Maine Family]

Count your blessings, make some one smile and it ain't no fun being good all the time.

Nice token.

[+Trick or Treat]

Great timing for a cointest because just today I was thinking:

 

There are three kinds of people in the world: those who can count and those who can't.

[+Shadow's Friend]

A good friend of mine told me this once and now I practice it most days.

 

"Never pass up the opportunity to use a restroom!"

 

Thanks for the cointest!!

That one reminds me of this one:

 

There are 10 kinds of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who don't.

Here's one that I've always thought was clever:

Here is one of my favorites...

 

If you don't like yourself, you can't like other people...

Have you hugged your Jr. geocacher today?

 

Neat cointest - thanks!

[love2cat]

If today is the first day of the rest of your life, what the he!! was yesterday?

 

 

Thanks for the cointest.

One that I have kept close to me and reminds me of my late mom is - "Never take life too seriously, you're not going get out of it alive anyway."
