I AM A BIT TIRED THIS MORNING

Well after not doing much of noting for 4 days I went back to work yesterday and this morning I am I bit tired, there is some good news this week though because I will be off Thursday for for New Years Day. After New Years Day though I won't have a day off until Memorial Day unless we get a big snow. It was good to see fellow blogger Mark back on the blog yesterday, he did make a comment on yesterdays blog entry. I haven't been doing as well on my bowl picks this week, however I am still leading the contest but my lead is shrinking. Andrew is making a late run to the top by picking the last 6 bowl games right. My sinuses are bothering me again as well this morning which has caused my PAIN index to rise. It is going to be very windy tomorrow with wind 25-30 mph expected in the afternoon with gusts to 40 mph, so since it trash day here in CH there will be trash flying everywhere. MICKEY

The color blue has a calming effect. It causes the brain to release calming hormones.

DID YOU KNOW
One in every 4 americans has appeared on television.

Make Plans. Looking forward to something provides calming perspective. Schedule a weekend getaway, make an appointment for a massage, or buy concert tickets. Then when stress hits, you can remind yourself that you have a fun event or reward coming up.

Now is your moment
It is now, and now is different. Even though you may have experienced an overwhelming amount of disappointment in the past, the past is over.
Perhaps you've failed again and again. Now is different.

That was then and this is now. Now you have the opportunity to move forward.

Now you can do what you've never been able to do before. Now you can follow through on the things you've been unable or unwilling to do in the past.

Now is your moment to live. Now is the time to act.

Now is when you can truly make a difference. Stand up, step forward and live.
