IT'S GOING TO BE A COLD RAIN DAY, VCU WINS

Well it's going to be a cold rainy day here in Colonials Heights. It isn't even going to make it to 40 degrees and there is a 100% chance of rain. I have to say tomorrow isn't looking to much better either, however it may a bit warmer. The VCU Rams picked up a much needed win last night beating UNC Wilmington 88-59, I am sure the Rowdy Ram fans were Rowdy last night. The CH girls basketball team will be back in action tonight at home against Thomas Dale. Well dad has began to take the Christmas decorations down, it my take to the end of the week before they are all down though because he has so many to take down. I threw for the 2nd time in three days with dad trying to get my arm back into shape, it is a bit sore this morning but to bad. My PAIN index is elevated just because it is going to be a miserable day. MICKEY

Put your heart, mind, intellect, and soul even to your smallest acts. This is the secret of success. ~ Swami Sivananda

DID YOU KNOW
The vocabulary of the average person consists of 5,000 to 6,000 words.

Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco. Don't drink coffee or alcohol, or smoke tobacco (such as cigarettes), within two hours of bedtime. Caffeine is a nervous system stimulant and will keep you awake. Alcohol and tobacco upset your sleep patterns and prevent deep rest.

We don't stop playing because we grow old. We grow old because we stop playing.

Take an interest
Take an interest in life and you'll find it to be an infinite source of richness and value. Become fascinated with certain aspects of this world and you'll find an endless source of treasure and possibility.
There is nothing in life that's boring. There are only people who choose to see things as boring.

In fact, wherever you are and whatever you're doing can be truly fascinating when you decide to make it so. Life in any moment is as interesting as you wish to make it.

When you're truly interested in what you're doing, you'll do it much more effectively. When you choose to take an interest, you'll discover whole new worlds of opportunity.

You are immersed in a truly amazing and fascinating universe. With just the slightest spark of interest, you can begin to travel a path of discovery that will lead to beautiful places you cannot now imagine.

Instead of complaining about how dull life is, truly take an interest, and follow that interest with passion. There is no limit to how far it will take you.
