WEEKEND NOT OF TO A GOOD START

I have to say that my weekend didn't get off to a good start last night as our baseball team fell to Meadowbrook 6-5. Meadowbrook jumped out to a 5-1 lead before the Colonials tied it up at 5 in the bottom of the 6th only to give up 1 in the top of the 7th and lose to the Monarchs 6-5. We committed 7 errors in the game and only 1 of Meadowbrook's 6 runs we earned. It doesn't get any easier for us next week as we have 4 games in 5 games. The rest of the CH sports teams faired much better last night against Meadowbrook, the girls soccer team won 6-0, boys soccer 2-1 and the softball team won 21-2. The Thomas Dale baseball team beat L.C. Bird last night 7-6 in 9 innings. The Virginia baseball team picked up a 8-3 win at Boston College last night, the Cavs will face the Eagles again today. The Virginia football team will have it's Spring Game today, it will be the 1st time for the fans to see the new look offense. Mark Martin captured the pole for tonights race at Phoenix, it's his 3rd pole of the year. The New York Rangers and the Washington Capitals will play game 2 of there playoff series today, the Rangers lead the series 1-0. The donuts form Wal-Mart were very good again this morning. MICKEY

In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure. Bill Cosby

International Jugglers' Day (it seems that this is observed twice: once for jugglers and again for multi-taskers)

DID YOU KNOW
Drinking a bottle of beer a day helps to reduce the chance of kidney stones by 40%.

Be happy now. Even if your life isn't what you want it to be, be happy now. Know that your subconscious is living in the life you want and you're being propelled towards it's vision. Be happy with your life now, experience joy now and you'll see miracles happen. Life is a journey - enjoy the ride.

Value already yours
When you take something for granted, you can quickly forget that it's even there. If you take it for granted long enough, it may in fact be gone the next time you look for it.
Why is gratitude so very powerful? Because it keeps you connected to all the good things in your life.

Don't let the immense value that's already yours wander away because of neglect. Take time to remember, take time to celebrate and be grateful, and take time to say thank you.

Instead of continually wishing for more, take a loving and thankful look at all that you already have. By sincerely appreciating what's already yours, you can build upon it to reach any dream you could possibly imagine.

Make it a habit to reflect each day on how truly fortunate you are. It is your awareness that enables your richest blessings to continue unfolding and expanding throughout your world.

See the beauty that's already there, and the value that's already yours. It is more than enough to propel you positively and meaningfully forward.
-- Ralph Marston
