I don't have a concrete view on our creator but I do have a great appreciation for my life, our world, my "blessings". Its been my lifetime view that one of the greatest ways you can give thanks for what you have is by not wasting. By honoring its value and doing what can be done to not waste, you show gratitude and appreciation. So more than being frugal you are being grateful. I mean, how much monetary gain is there really to rinsing out a bottle or squeezing a tube?<br />It is my belief that if you live your life that way with things and more importantly with people, you will always have an abundant life, in every way. <br />I do love my toothpaste...so I will squeeze squeeze squeeze!!!! And I do love my boyfriend so....nevermind! ;)<br /><br />P.S. I may use this idea for a blog posting. It's something I feel very passionate about.
