LAST DAY OF THE YEAR

Well today is the last day of the year, I hope everybody had a pretty good 2008 and has a better 2009. The Richmond Renegades will be in action tonight at Fayetteville, the Gades made several moves yesterday trying to improve the team. Also is appears there best defensemen will return to the team after being out with injury next week which should help there defense a great deal. It has been a tough week on NFL coaches, since the season ended on Sunday 4 coaches have been fired. My PAIN index remains about the same this morning, I have a few nagging problems which has prevented my index from falling further. I will probably be sleep by the time 2009 comes in tonight. MICKEY

This bright new year is given me
To live each day with zest
To daily grow and try to be
My highest and my best!
William Arthur Ward

At the end of the day you have to live with yourself. Live the day according to your core beliefs.

DID YOU KNOW
The avocado has the most calories of any fruit.

Are you too greedy with your resolutions? Some resolutions like losing weight, learning a new skill or training for a marathon can take months to achieve. If there are too many big ticket resolutions like these, you may be stretching yourself too thin over the year and having too little time/energy left to do well in any of them. My suggestion is to have only 2 to 3 big ticket resolutions and less than a dozen small resolutions in your resolution list. Spread your big-ticket resolutions across the year so that big ticket resolutions don't happen within the same period. This is especially true if you have a day job and you are using free time to work on your resolutions.
