"WORRYING IS A BULLY...IT ONLY TAKES...NEVER GIVES."

Six Things Mentally Strong People Do

1. They move on.  They don’t waste time feeling sorry for themselves.
2. They embrace change.  They welcome challenges.
3. They stay happy.  They don’t waste energy on things they can’t control.
4. They are kind, fair and unafraid to speak up.
5. They are willing to take calculated risks.
6. They celebrate other people’s success.  They don’t resent that success.

We are a multigenerational baseball club family, which has an average age of 50.36 years old. So we are deeply committed to doing whatever we can to prevent the spread of this disease - not only to protect ourselves, but to protect each other. Whether we agree or disagree with the WHO Pandemic announcement this week is irrelevant. We err on the side of caution to protect ourselves, our loved ones, our friends, our associates, our neighbors and our community.

Remember to practice the recommended prevention guidelines. MLB has established elbow bumps instead of handshaking. 

We are always available via phone, text or email. Please feel free to contact any of us whether Greg, Lance, Bill, Jeff, Gaston, Doug or Rod

Get well, be safe and our thoughts and prayers are with and over all of us during this season.

HBC Board of Directors

"Everybody sometimes needs some help; that is why we are a team!"

"Be Coached and Be a Coach to Others"

"Leadership to me is often about what you preach. Leadership's also about what you tolerate. I tolerated too much." AJH

WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE QUITTING: REMEMBER WHY YOU STARTED!

Games are won by players who focus on the playing field not by those whose eyes are glued to the scoreboard.

Life is the most difficult exam.  Many fail because they try to copy others, Not realizing that everyone has a different question paper.

Sometimes it's better to just remain silent and smile.

Practice the Pause. 

When in doubt, pause. When angry, pause. When tired, pause. When stressed, pause. And when you pause, PRAY

"Parents can only be as happy as their unhappiest child."

"My past is my past.  It made me who I am.  I have no regrets, & wouldn't change a thing.  I just don't live there anymore."

The Past teaches us, makes us, molds us.  The Present opens up opportunities, gives us hope.  The Future creates our successes based on what we did, and how we did them.  At the end, Life is a journey, that ends in results.
