VIRGINIA HEADING OUT WEST, THOMAS DALE IN REGIONAL PLAYOFFS



The Virginia Cavalier baseball team will be heading out west this weekend in the NCAA baseball tournament when it plays UCLA on Friday in the Cal State Fullerton Regional and the will be #3 seed in this regional. The East Carolina Pirate baseball team will play Alabama on Friday in the Coastal Carolina Regional in Conway, SC near Myrtle Beach. The Thomas Dale baseball team will be at home today at 5pm against Patrick Henry in the Central Region baseball tournament, also Matoaca from the CD will be in action tonight at Mills Godwin. There is a chance of t-storms later today but maybe it will hold off until after todays games. In the Stanley Cup Playoffs last night Detroit beat Pittsburgh 3-0 to take a 2-0 lead in the series, somebody needs to tell Pittsburgh if they don't score they can't win, they have yet to score a goal in 1st 2 games of the series. Well after a nice 3 day weekend it's back to the grind today and my Pain index is a pretty low but I am sure it will rise some over the next few days. Also a quick note from the beach the First Flight High School girls soccer team won the North Carolina 2A state soccer championship on Saturday with a 2-1 win over East Bend Forbush, with the win the Nighthawks finished with a 22-2 record.

My friend, if I could give you one thing, I would give you the ability to see yourself as others see you... then you would realize what a truly special person you are. - Barbara A. Billings

Choose your priorities
Your priorities are not determined by what you say they are. Your most genuine priorities are expressed by what you actually do with your life and your time.

Look around you, and you'll see very clearly what your priorities have been up to this point. Those priorities have brought you to where you are right now.

If something is truly a priority for you, you absolutely are able to find a way to reach it. If it's not a priority, it's probably not going to happen for you.

You can set your priorities and you can change them at any time to be whatever you choose. But merely wishing for something does not make it a priority.

The priorities that are really priorities are the ones that dictate where you focus your awareness. The priorities that truly matter are the ones in which you invest your interest, your attention and, most importantly, your action.

You can follow whatever priorities you choose, and in every moment you are constantly choosing. Remember, as you go through each day, to choose those priorities that will bring the special joy and fulfillment that is yours to live.
-- Ralph Marston
