PACKERS WIN AGAIN, REDSKINS SURVIVE

The Green Bay Packers beat the Kansas City Chiefs 33-22 yesterday and with the win the Packers improve to 7-1 on the season and are tied with Dallas for the best record in the NFC. Next week the Packers will be back at home against the Minnesota Vikings. The Washington Redskins needed overtime to take car of the New York Jets 23-20, but a win is a win, the Skins are now 5-3 and will play host to Philadelphia Eagles next week. Jimmy Johnson held off Matt Kenseth yesterday for the win at the Texas Motor Speedway and with the win Johnson is now the new points leader over Jeff Gordon by 30 points with two races left. Several bloggers came by to check out the house yesterday and the were Mark, Keith and Maureen (part time blogger). The Colonial Heights boys volleyball team will be in action tonight in the Central Region Playoffs at Deep Run at 7pm. My AIP index is very high because of sore right shoulder, a sore right hamstring, a sore right torso, and I turned my left ankle a bit as yesterday but besides that I am OK. It's going to fell like spring today with a high in the mid 60's but later in the week the highs will be more fall like in the mid 50's. MICKEY

Your greatest possibilities
What you need, others need as well. What you desire, so do others desire too. Following your dreams is not greedy. Pursuing your most deeply held desires is not selfish, for in so doing you also serve to fulfill the dreams and desires of those around you.

What you do to make yourself the best you can be will benefit others, most likely even more than it benefits you. What you do to serve others will likewise benefit you as well.

When you sincerely examine your desires, you'll find that you have at least as much, and probably even more desire to give of yourself as to receive. Surely you have yearned to be of use, to make a difference, to express yourself. And how would these be possible if not in the service of others?

Be the best you can be and you make your world the best it can be. Truly make a positive difference and you'll fulfill your greatest possibilities.
