CH WINS IN BIB ACTION, WENT TO THE TALE OF THE WHALE

The CH Optimist team beat the Matoaca Indians last night 7-1 in BIB Tournament action at Shepherd Stadium, with the CH will face Hopewell on Wednesday night. Andrew's team lost 4-3 yesterday in the Central Chesterfield Invitational, they will play again today. Fellow blogger Al will be in Baltimore today with rest of the family to the Orioles face the Boston Red Sox and from what I understand they will be selling oxygen where his seats are. Well it was a cloudy day here on the OBX yesterday and we did pick up a little rain as well but not much, down around the MP 16 area they almost picked up 2 inches of rain but here we got .05 inches. We went to The Tale of The Whale for supper last night and I got the ribs and they were very good but they were a bit messy as well but they were good. Well I will back in the Heights later today.

Give yourself a goal
Do yourself a favor and give yourself a goal. Make it meaningful, make it exciting, make it challenging and then make it happen.

Set your goal a little bit beyond what you already know you can do. Then when you reach it you'll not only have the achievement, you'll also have an increased level of confidence.

As long as you're making the effort to live this day, give it a purpose. Give yourself a goal, and transform fleeting time into lasting accomplishment.

From where you are, you can go anywhere. One by one, the goals you set will get you there.

Working steadily and persistently toward a goal will energize all aspects of your life and bring the awesome power of focus to your efforts. There's truly no feeling quite like it.

Challenge yourself forward with a great and meaningful goal. Give yourself a goal, and make yourself some real treasure.
