A VERY COOL DAY IN THE HEIGHTS

It looks like it is going to struggle to get out of the 70's today here in Colonial Heights and we might get a little rain as well. Down on the OBX it looks like it is going to rain most of the day and it isn't going to make it out of the 70's. The price of gas continues to drop here in the area with many stations here in CH around $3.50 and several in Chesterfield that have fallen into the $3.40's a gallon. If the price continues to fall like this i might be able to afford to go back to the beach, the price has fallen anywhere from $.40 to $.50 gallon since the middle of July which is good news. My PAIN index has gone up again this morning because I have a wisdom tooth that is giving me a little trouble, nothing to painful yet but I know it's there. Where in the world is Andrew, he signed up and joined the blog and has only made one comment, I know he reads the blog and I can't believe he doesn't have nothing to say. MICKEY

You will never find time for anything. You must make it.

Pinocchio is Italian for "pine head."

Thoughts lead the way
Your thoughts have great influence on your life. So get them working in your favor.

Those things you've convinced yourself you cannot do, you will not do. By the same token, whatever you're absolutely certain that you can accomplish, you will indeed accomplish.

Your thoughts directly and persistently control your actions. And through your actions, you create much of the reality of your life.

Every achievement begins with a thought. And every achievement is supported all along the way by a continuous flow of positive, empowering thoughts.

You won't make something happen just by thinking about it. Yet the things you do cause to happen are those things upon which your thoughts are steadily focused.

Fill your mind with thoughts of positive purpose, joy, and meaningful achievement. Let your thoughts lead the way to the life of your dreams.
-- Ralph Marston
