IT WAS A VERY COLD DAY FOR BASEBALL PRACTICE, VIRGINIA BASEBALL TEAM NOW 4-0

It was a very cold day for baseball practice yesterday and it doesn't appear today is going to be much warmer, we even got a few snow flurries at the Shep. It does look like tomorrow will be about 10 degrees warmer than today, my arm did get some much needed rest yesterday and I might be available today. Don't forget we will have our first scrimmage at 2pm at Shepherd Stadium on Saturday against Trinity, also Thomas Dale will scrimmage Cosby the same day at Thomas Dale. The Virginia baseball team got another pretty strong pitching performance yesterday and beat the Old Dominion Monarchs 7-3, with the win the Cavs improve to 4-o and will face Coppin State today. The VCU Rams captured the CAA regular season tittle last night beating UNC Wilmington 72-58, however the regular season title doesn't mean much since the automatic bid to the NCAA tournament goes to the CAA tournament champion. I hope everybody dresses to stay warm today. MICKEY

Health Tip: What's Behind My Migraine?
Migraines are severe headaches that can also cause nausea and sensitivity to light and sound.

Migraines are more common in women than men. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services lists these common triggers of migraines in women:

* Not getting enough to eat.
* Not getting enough sleep.
* Exposure to bright lights or loud noise.
* Fluctuating hormone levels, such as during your period.
* Changes in the weather.
* Emotional factors, such as stress or anxiety.
* Chocolate, alcohol, nicotine or foods with additives such as MSG.

Hunger for meaning
Are you so busy chasing pleasure that you leave no room for joy in your life? Are you so obsessed with proving how happy you are that you make yourself miserable?

Step back for a moment and remember who you are. Even if you reach them, the generic goals and aspirations you borrow from others will not bring you even a moment of real fulfillment.

Life does not gain meaning through the things you see advertised on television. If all you want is what the world tells you to want, you'll find yourself in a perpetual state of lack, limitation and frustration.

Within you is a hunger for meaning. Within you is a burning desire to make a difference and to express a purpose that is special to you alone.

No one can give that purpose to you, for it is something you already have. Let go of the need to nourish your shallow ego, and you'll begin to connect with the real, meaningful purpose that is woven through your whole life.

Free yourself from the off-the-shelf definition of success that is nothing more than an empty fantasy. Instead, find real success and joy by giving life to the purpose that has always been within you.
