COLONIALS & RENEGADES WIN, IT IS FREEZING HERE IN COLONIAL HEIGHTS



The Colonial Heights Colonials picked up it's Central District of the win of the season last night knocking off the Matoaca Warriors 56-53 at home. I did go to the game and it was good one, neither team lead by more than 7 points all night and there even were a few technical fouls handed out as well. The Colonials are now off until next Friday night when the travel to Prince George. The VCU Rams have big game this afternoon when the Old Dominion Monarchs visit the Seigel Center, the Rams have been playing very well lately. The Richmond Renegades picked up another road victory last night beating the Knoxville Ice Bears 6-5 in OT, the Gades return to home ice tonight when the Twin City Cyclones visit the Richmond Coliseum. I almost froze to death this morning getting out the car at Wal-Mart and getting to the front door of the store, it was a very cold 6.3 this morning here in Colonial Heights. I hate cold weather and I am ready for Spring & Summer. I almost forgot to mention my PAIN index is up this this morning by because my finger is hurting from opening the cats can food this week, those pop tops on those cans are not good on the fingers.

Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.
Thor-Heyerdahl


Kindness and courtesy can make an average person superior; indifference and lack of concern can make a superior person average.

Play Beat the Clock
I love doing this when I'm running an out-and-back route. Begin timing your run as soon as you start. At your turnaround point, hit the split button on your running watch/timer, or just take note of your time. Try increasing your pace on the way back, with the goal of beating your time for the first half.

Great fortune
Remind yourself often of how fortunate you are. The more you realize and recall your good fortune, the more good and valuable things you can do with it.
Your true fortune has little to do with the size of your bank account or your material assets. The greatest fortune you have is life itself, and the opportunity to live each moment with awareness and effectiveness.

There is endless fortune in your ability to choose what to do with each moment. There is limitless fortune in your capacity to feel love, awe, compassion, gratitude and pure joy.

Spend some time each day thinking about how truly fortunate you are. Let the warm feeling of that magnificent fortune permeate your awareness.

Your very existence has such great and irreplaceable value that it's impossible to even imagine the full extent of it. Resolve today to make good use of all that value.

The great fortune of your life is here and now. Live it with joy and meaning.
-- Ralph Marston
