NASCAR IN RICHMOND, ANOTHER NICE DAY

Well the Nascar Sprint Cup Series will race at Richmond tonight and the Nationwide Series raced last night at RIR, maybe Al will post some photos of last nights action that he took. Local driver Denny Hamlin picked up the win in last nights event. Denny also picked up the pole for tonights Sprint Cup race as well edging out Mart Martin for the top spot. The CH girls & boys soccer teams picked up wins last night at Dinwiddie, the girls team won 6-0 while the boys team won 4-2. Andrew's little league team will be in action this afternoon at 2pm at Ironbridge Park on field #4, they also play Monday night at 7:30pm on the same field at Ironbridge Park. It is going to be another nice day here in CH today with a high of 85 expected before it drops back into to 70's on Sunday with about a 40% of rain. My PAIN index has continued to fall this morning, I think it is as low as it has been in months. I did go down to Wal-Mart this morning and it was a bit more crowded than usual, I think there were some out of towner's in town for the race there this morning. The donuts didn't look to good so I just some Hostess donuts this morning. Well I am going to for run outside this morning, the only problem with running outside on Saturday morning is that you have to watch out for all those people trying to get to the yard sales, they are not the best drivers in the world. MICKEY

Self Esteem Tips: By Sharon Capehart
Tips to build your self-esteem:
1. Think of self-esteem as building block to success. Start from the inside out. Keep a positive mental attitude at all times. See yourself as a person with high self-esteem. Stay content and happy and pay these positive feelings forward. That is, always try to compliment others and see the best in others. By concentrating on others, you’ll also learn to see the good in you.
2. Be appreciative of what you have. Be thankful for small blessings. Take time out to enjoy the gift of life and never take it for granted. In no time at all, you will feel better about yourself and you will notice that you can handle things more smoothly.
3. Know that you can and will improve your self-esteem with a bit of effort. Just like Rome wasn’t built in a day, it will take some time to eliminate negativity and see yourself in a more positive light. The key is to just keep trudging along and evolving every day.
4. Don’t focus on the past. Instead concentrate on the future. It is very important not to dwell on the past. Instead concentrate on how you plan to make a change today. After all, everyone makes mistakes, but it is those that move on that are most successful.
