HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME

Well today is your blog masters 42nd birthday and I feel every bit of it. I think my aches and pains are getting worst by the day the older I get. However today my PAIN index is right down the middle at 5. I will be celebrating my birthday today by going to work, I don't work for the government where they give you your birthday off or some other days for that matter. In case some of you missed the end off the Monday Night Football game last night the Dallas Cowboys beat the Philadelphia Eagles 41-37, I watched the 1st half but I didn't stay awake for the finish. The Cowboys will visit Green Bay next Sunday night in a big NFC match up. The weather the next two days here in Colonial Heights is really going to be very nice with highs in the low 70's and upper 50's, there is a slight chance of precipitation both days. MICKEY

The heart is your most important muscle. Through exercise, the heart gets stronger and pumps blood more easily to the body.

Offer real value
There is always much work to be done. There is always great value to be created.

Plenty of problems are waiting to be solved. And each problem represents opportunity.

All kinds of dreams are longing to be realized. Those dreams add incalculable positive power to life.

Choose to tackle the difficult problems with effectiveness and persistence, and you will gain great rewards. Learn to deliver the real value and substance that the world seeks, and your efforts will always be in demand.

Conditions are constantly changing, and yet some things will always be true. Those people who make themselves the most useful will enjoy life's richest treasures.

Choose to be creative, flexible, productive, effective, efficient and generous with the best that is within you. Offer real value to the world, and the world will surely return the favor in abundance.
