COLONIALS BEAT MONACAN 6-4, FACE LC BIRD TODAY AT 4PM

The Colonial Heights Colonials baseball team came from behind again yesterday to pick up a 6-4 win over Monacan. The Colonials entered the top of the 7th inning down 4-0 but got 4 runs in the top of the 7th to tie the game and two more in the top of the 8th to come away with a 6-4 victory. Jeff Kidd picked up the win relief and JD McCarty picked up the save in the win. Offensively for the Colonials JD had a 2b with 3RBI's, Kenny Stoneback 2RBI's and Caleb Lee at 2 hits for the Colonials. The Colonials will face LC Bird today at 4pm. Also yesterday the Thomas Dale Knights beat Hopewell 10-1, TD will face Collegiate today. In softball action the Colonials fell to Nottoway 7-3. In College basketball action tonight the Virginia Cavaliers will play Bradley in the semi-finals of the CBI, I understand that Keith and Andrew will making the trip to Charlottesville. It has also come to my attention that fellow blogger Al's camera has been sent in for some repairs, hopefully he will get it back soon so he can take some more photos of the Colonials in action. The weather looks like it is going to be very nice today so come on out to the baseball game. MICKEY

Essential Tip For Loving Your Life, By Cherry Norris
Don't Do Everything Alone.

It's exhausting. It's overwhelming. It's usually not worth it.

And it's impossible.

Ask for help. Find support. Delegate. Or simply don't do it.

If you're overworked and overwhelmed, you're not good for anybody...most importantly...yourself. (Sound familiar?)

(Good. You're gettin' it!)

If you could choose
If you could choose what kind of world to live in, what kind of world would you choose? If you could determine how the upcoming day will be, with what kinds of things would you fill it?

If you had the power to decide what types of opportunities would come your way, what opportunities would you select? If you knew that your experiences would equal your expectations, what would your expectations be?

In fact, you do have the power to choose the way that much of your world will be. You do have the ability to decide what kinds of events, experiences, opportunities and circumstances come your way.

For the world you experience is the world with which your dreams, your thoughts, your expectations and your actions most closely resonate. The world you see and live in, is the world you most sincerely expect to see.

The universe is filled with endless possibilities, and those possibilities keep growing more numerous with each minute. The way you live determines which of those possibilities come into contact with your life.

With your thoughts, with your actions, with your values, dreams and expectations, you do indeed choose what kind of world you live in. The way you are, is closely mirrored in the world you see.
