A COUPLE OF COOL DAYS

Well we are going to get a couple of pretty cool days here in Colonial Heights the next two days with a high of 72 today and 74 tomorrow. The cooler weather however won't last to long though because by Sunday it will be back in the low 90's. I went up to the high school and saw the Colonials volleyball team play last night against Prince George, the boys team lost a close match and the girls team was winning when I left. My PAIN index is on the rise this morning because my right thigh is a bit sore and my left foot is also giving me a bit of trouble as well. Don forget to check out Scott's entry to the blog called VOTE 08 it's pretty good if you haven't check it out. Well thats about all I know for today. MICKEY

Be as smart as you can, but remember that it is always better to be wise than to be smart. Alan Alda

TODAY IS: Swap Ideas Day

Having a salad or cup of soup for starters can be a habit that pays off in pounds lost. They can curb your hunger, prevent over eating, and help you stay in control of portions.

DID YOU KNOW, That ants to not sleep.

Good and tired
Being tired from doing something feels a whole lot better than being tired of doing nothing. If you're going to be tired at the end of each day, then make it really count for something.

If you're weary, perhaps it's not because you're doing too much. Perhaps it's because you're not at all invested in what you're doing.

A difficult challenge that's aligned with your purpose will generate far more energy in you than an easy task that has no real meaning for you. You can accomplish much more when what you're accomplishing is what you care about.

When your body is tired, a good night's sleep will revive you. When you're spirit is weary, you'll need something more.

You have a unique voice and a unique purpose that are longing to be expressed. Start living that expression and you'll find an endless source of energy flowing through your life.

Get yourself good and tired with focused, disciplined work on a purpose that connects with who you truly are. And you'll find that each day you have even more energy than the day before.
