BASEBALL PRACTICE STARTS TODAY, KENSETH WINS AGAIN

Well today is the 1st day of baseball practice so you can expect my PAIN index to be on the rise by tomorrow. We only have 5 days of practice before our 1st scrimmage on Saturday morning. Fellow blogger Keith also starts baseball practice today so you can expect his PAIN to be on the rise as well. The Virginia baseball team is now 4-0 after beating Bucknell yesterday 11-1, either the Cavs have tremendous pitching staff or Bucknell doesn't have a whole lot of bats in there lineup, they only scored 2 runs in 4 games. Matt Kenseth won his 2nd race of the season yesterday at the California Speedway holding off Jeff Gordon for the win, you talk about a ho hum race, I am glad I didn't pay money to see this one. Next week they will race in Las Vegas. MICKEY

Winners are the ones who really listen to the truth of their hearts.

Never forget a kindness, but always try to forget a slight.

DID YOU KNOW
Fifty-four percent of the adult population in the United States drinks coffee every day.

Step forward
Are you just sitting and waiting for life to come to you? With that approach, you're not going to like much of what comes your way.
Instead, step forward with enthusiasm and meet each day with positive and eager anticipation. That way, you'll put life solidly on your own terms.

The more responsibility you're willing to take, the more control you'll have over the world around you. Be decisive and proactive, and events will more often unfold in your favor.

Make use of each moment to give something meaningful to life. Fill your thoughts and actions with substance, and you'll fill your life with great treasures.

Get up, get out there, and immerse yourself in the richness of being. The positive contributions you make will come back to you again and again in delightfully unexpected ways.

There is a whole world of abundance and fulfillment just waiting to be explored. Step forward and discover even more of what it means to be you.
