HURRICAN EARL EFFECTS TO BE FELT ON THE OBX

Well it looks like the effects Hurricane Earl will be felt on the OBX although it still looks like the storm will stay out in the Atlantic. It looks like the OBX will experience tropical storm winds, beach erosion and locally heavy rain even if the storm stays offshore. This morning the storm has winds at 135 MPH. I have been in a bit of a sleeping rut for about the last 7 days, for some reason I have been waking up at 4am every day and I don't know why but I sure could use that extra 1 1/2 of sleep. Well I only need two more peoples picks this week, I have 16 of the 18 entries but I still need two more. I did go up to high school last night and saw both the boys & girls volleyball teams beat L.C. Bird. How about those Cincinnati Reds, they now have a 6 game lead in the NL East. MICKEY

Avoid the Negativity: try to spend less time with those who just don’t get it. Although we can’t remove some people from our lives all together, chronic negativity can be extremely debilitating and take a toll on your own outlook and well being. Being positive takes work and the more you can spend time with individuals who emote positivity, the better off you’ll be. You might want to encourage those who are close to you to seek help or professional counseling. However, for your own sanity, maintain strong boundaries with those individuals so you can maintain a healthy outlook.

SMELL THE ROSES
Did you need an excuse to spring for that $4 bouquet of daisies? According to Real Simple, a Harvard study showed that people who looked at fresh blooms in the morning reported higher energy levels for the rest of the day. Put a small bouquet on your bedside table, or use them to brighten up a corner of your cubicle.
