DAVIDSON FALLS, A COUPLE MORE DREARY DAYS

Well the Davidson Wildcats run towards the final 4 ended yesterday with a 59-57 loss to Kansas, the Wildcats put up a good fight but just fell short. All the #1 seeds in the tournament advanced to the final 4. The UVA baseball team finished there sweep of Virginia Tech yesterday with 2-1 win, with the win the Cavs are now 23-5 overall and 8-4 in the ACC. Denny Hamlin won yesterdays Sprint Cup race at Martinsville holding off Jeff Gordon and Jeff Burton for the win, next week the will be at the very fast Texas Motor Speedway. MLB opened its season on US soil last night with Nationals beating the Braves 3-2 in the bottom of the 9th inning, most of the rest of teams will have there openers today. The weather isn't looking to good right now for tomorrow's Central District baseball openers, it rained most of the day yesterday and there is about 50/50 shot of rain today and tomorrow as well and the sun isn't suppose to be out at all. Today the temp is only going to be in the mid 50's while Tuesday it is suppose be around 70. Most of the area schools will reopen today with the exception of Colonial Heights, I guess the school board thought they needed an extra day off. MICKEY

Self-disciplined begins with the mastery of your thoughts. If you don't control what you think, you can't control what you do. Simply, self-discipline enables you to think first and act afterward.
Napoleon Hill

Never stop reaching
It is only when a seed grows that it can produce more seeds. It is only when you express joy and abundance in your own life that you can help others to know joy and abundance in their lives.

To make yourself miserable for the sake of helping others will serve no useful purpose at all. The best way to be of service to others is from a position of strength and fulfillment rather than from a position of weakness and despair.

The goals and dreams and desires that are so undeniably your own are yours for a reason. They are showing you, and at the same time compelling you, to make the most of your life.

It is not selfish to be your very best. What's truly selfish is to let your enormous potential go unrealized.

What have you always wanted to know, always wanted to have, always wanted to do, and always wanted to be? It is never too late to honestly answer that question, and to answer it with all the colorful detail and passion that it deserves.

For in the answer to that question is your own truly beautiful and unique gift to life. Never stop reaching for the best you can imagine; for when you fulfill your highest possibilities, you raise the whole world up with you.
-- Ralph Marston
