Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time. I don't know. Y'all have a sun giving them just like the million buck things in its cobs. Not true. Good to mother for Please don't join jo. You gotta turn you go. You gotta turn to turn them out. Turn you haven't got to turn them out. Then turn the water the water go. Come come on your bad huh, I shall will. Good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, Come on dig me now. One and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Man. What an amazing blessing. God has given me my health, my dreams, all of it. God gave it to me. I accept it. I work hard, but man on, man on, man, I work hard is something that He gave me a gift. And that's what I want to talk to you about today, because God has gifted everyone, so I can't help but believe it. You are gifted in some way something about you. It's special and unique. That doesn't mean you're the only one that can sing, or you're the only one that can write, Are you the only one that can draw, You're the only one that can decorate, or you're the only one that can network or you're the only one that that's not what it means. Or you have a great scientific mind, or you can things out, or you're good and problem solving. You're not the only one, but you are a unique individual. Nobody will travel the exact path that you own. Nobody will have everything happened in a series of circumstances in the order that you're going to have it happened to you. That's what I mean when I say that you are unique. But now because you are gifted, you know you have something you have to do. You know, there's a scripture. It's in Proverbs, Proverbs eighteen and sixteen. I've been trying to be a little bit better at that for you, you know. So when I have an idea and I know where it is, I have somebody looked the scripture up from it handed to me. So it's in Proverbs eighteen sixteen. And this is the layman's term of it. It says a man's gift make room for him and brings him before great men. It is your gift that will make room for you. Now my interpretation of this is this. Now I could be wrong. Please go to your local church, Synder God Temple, Moss. Whatever you do and go get clarification. But what my gift has done in making room for me is I've taken it almost in the literal sense. My gift has actually made room for me. It has cleared paths for me. My gift has opened up doors for me. That's what I take it as. It will make room for you. My gift has is broadened my ability to travel. My gift has opened my eyes to fashion. My gift has caused me to be able to provide for my family. My gift has caused me to be able to reach more people. That's what I'm saying in terms of it will make room for you. That it may be another interpretation. I'm just telling you how I took it, that it's worked out pretty good for me to that understanding. But I'm pretty sure Bishop Jake's, Joel Oldstein, Kenneth for Almah, you know, God, Glenn Staples, Bishop Glenn Stables, these guys give you much better understanding of it. I'm just giving it to you, you know where I know how sold you. I don't know. I just like to keep it right there. But and then it says that it brings you before great men. I mean, you know, it's gonna take you places. It's gonna take you places you never thought of going. You're gonna meet people because of your gift. I told my son, who two of them are good photographers, You'll be taking pictures of great men. And then I messed with him. You already taking pictures to say, your daddy, you know what, I'm messing with him like that. But that's just me and them just kicking it. But you know, but one day, who knows, you could be shooting the president. You know, you could be shooting some foreign dignitaries. You know, you could be shooting great sport events. You know, you never know where it could take you. But that's your gift. What you gotta do is you gotta get to move and though. See, you can't have your gift and not do nothing with it. See. You know what that reminds me of. It's something that my father used to say, get up off your butt because you're sitting on a gold mine. He say that all the time. Boy, get up off your butt and move it, because you're sitting on a gold mine. I never really quite got that when I was little, but now that I'm an adult, I got it full well. See, a lot of you are sitting You're sitting on a talent or a gift that you have. You're sitting on an ability. I don't care if it's making cakes or pies. That's a gift, man, that's a talent. I don't care. If it's the ability to do how that's a gift. Man. Half of you are gifted. A lot of us are gifted, and we're sitting on it, looking at other people wondering what can I do to make it? You already got something to make it with. If you would just get up off your behind, man, quits sitting on that gold mine. Some of you are tech savvy, just a whiz is when it comes to engineering and putting stuff together and cables and wires and computers and stuff. And now you steady looking around trying to figure out, Man, wonder what I can go do? How about you go do that? You know it ain't that hard, man, if you would just take note of what God has given you already. He has given you a gift already. He has already given you a talent. Now the fact that you ain't using it and you're sitting on your tail somewhere now who fathers what we're talking about? Well, what you're blaming God for that? Man? I tell you what. I sit around people all the time who are gifted, and I'm looking at their gifts, and they steady complaining about what they don't have, but will not get up off there behind and use the gifts that God gave them. And it's frustrating. It's gotta be frustrating for you if you're doing it, because it's frustrating for me when I see it. So when these people come to me and ask me for help, I just keep going the same thing over and over. Help yourself, man, do for you use your gift. It's a cat sitting behind the wall right now that's locked up. That's so good at artistry. It's cats in that tattoo and everybody, man, get out, do it the right way. Quit selling drugs. Man, You ain't going to West selling no drugs. You're going to jail. And if that don't do it, somebody gonna get tired of you're selling drugs because they're gonna want to sell them over and they're gonna kill you. Let's just keep this thing real for just a second here, Come on, man, get up off your butt because you're sitting on the gold mine, and you're sitting up here, somebody always looking for a shortcut to the top. Ain't no shortcut. Somebody told me this the other day. Man, the road to success is always under construction. It ain't paved, it's got detour signs on it. It's got slow men working. Sometimes they flip the stop sign. You gotta sit there and wait. Sometimes they got slow. That's traffic. That's accidents. Somebody on the road holding up things with a flat tie. It's nails, it's gravels. This spike is everything. The road to success is always under construction. It ain't getting ready to be easy just because you didn't decided to do it. But don't sit around on your behind and complain all the time about what you don't have. My daddy said it, man, get up off your butt because you're sitting on a gold mine. You got a gift, you got a talent, You got something that you can do that could make a way for you, but you won't do it. It is within you. Stop looking around. Here's where people waste the most time on the road to success, looking around at somebody else, trying to figure out man, How can I do what they did? Do what you do? You ain't jay Z, You ain't. Sorry. I got a couple of your homies told you you rap better than him. But you're not jay Z. Really you're not. You know, all of us can shot at him, but we ain't Richard Pryor a nice shot Steve, Bernie Die, all of we took some great shots at it. We're not him. Do what you can do? Do you do your gift quick complaining about what you don't have. Get up off your butt because you're sitting on a gold mine. You're listening Harpy Morning Show. Won't two want two three? Hit it?

Miss Anne Shrill with the rest of the news, I mean, Carner's announced an official cause of death for Gabby Patino who went missing during that cross country road trip with a boyfriend and turned up dead. In the manner of death of Gabrielle Nora Potito, we find the cause and manner to be caused death by strangulation and manner is homicide and the Carner says that Potito was killed three to four weeks before her body was found on September nineteenth. Now, Sarties are still searching for the boyfriend, Brian Laundry, who accompanied her on that cross county trip and really has disappeared. He was at his parents' house and somebody let look the other way and he got away. Meanwhile, the family of black Illinois State University grad student Gilanni Day is hoping for at least a cause of death in his case. Gilani, an aspiring doctor, was reported missing in late August, but his mother felt she had to make a plead to the national press in order to get the local cops to do any work on her son's case. Turns out that a body had been found weeks earlier in the Illinois River, which they say they just identified as the popular grad student. Day's mother says she wants her son's murderer found and prosecuted. How Speaker Nancy Pelosi says, in order to pass both a President Biden's infrastructure bills, Democrats are going to have to cut down the price tag for the mostly costly one, the one that's the three and a half trillion dollars that's a human infrastructure measure. But she has an idea on how to bring the course down by shortening the length of certain sections of the bill by still getting the work done. I'm point it that we're not going with the original three point five trillion dollars, which was very transformative. But whatever we do, we'll make decisions that will continue to be transformative. And Pelosi says that Democrats can still pour a lot of support into at least three areas of the measure, like climate change, childcare, and also into support for working people and for things like paid medical leaving stuff, So she says there's still enough gas in the tank. The La Raiders are going to have a new coach when they play Sunday at Denver, a long time coach, John Gruden.

I've been divorced for almost three years and I moved away after the divorce to start anew. My husband was an avid cheater, and my mother finally told me after he'd been having an affair with a woman for over six months. My mother is employed by my ex husband as his accountant. He has two businesses that do very well in a small town therein. My mother was a retired accountant when he and I met, and he fell in love with her and he hired her. When I say they fell in love, I mean it. Whenever he and I would have a disagreement, she'd always tell me to consider his point of view. When he cheated. I think she knew it all along and only told me because my ten year old daughter saw him with this woman. Excuse me. My daughter kept referencing daddy's friend at work, so I asked my mother and she spilled the teeth. Our relationship hasn't been the same since then, and she said it's because I divorced my husband. Her belief is that I should have kept my family together no matter what. The things my husband did for his girlfriend were the same things he did for me, So it wasn't the cheating that got to me. It was the time he spent with her and the trip he took her on. I asked my mother to reconsider working for him, and she said that whatever we had going on should not affect her money. Our own daughter doesn't talk to my ex right now because she figured out who Daddy's friend was. My mother called recently and said she's trying to get the family together for Thanksgiving and she wants me there. She said, my ex will be there, will be doing the turkey, and she would cook everything else. How can my own mother be so ignorant and invite him to dinner? Should I show up and curse them both out? Well, you know that sounds good on paper, it really does, but but this is bad. I mean, this situation is bad, and yes, your mom is really wrong. I don't advise you to curse your mom out. I mean, after all, she's all the way wrong. I agree with you one hundred percent, but she is your mom. She's not acting much like a mom, though. I will say that, because her loyalty should be to you at all times, and not your ex. He's cheating, he's your ex husband. She knew about it, didn't tell you. She was keeping these secrets all because of money? Is that why she was doing it? I think this had to hurt you, and this is some kind of betrayal on your mom's part. The best thing you could do is decline her crazy, thoughtless inconsiderate dinner invitation. Just don't go. Please make your own plan for you and your baby girl, your daughter, maybe some friends or whatever. But the main thing is to forget what they have going on at the mom's house and just let that go. Your mother is just oh anyway, after the holidays, I say, continue to distance yourself. This is a toxic situation. Stay away from it and let them do their thing. Let them do her if she won to stay over there with him, you know the lines across the line of the sand. It's divided. Now. Don't let her make you feel guilty for divorcing him. That was a while ago, and you should. You definitely did the wrong thing if he was doing all this stuff that your mother said, and he obviously was. This is just so wrong on so many levels, Steve, My mother and my ex are besties, don't I don't get this, especially from a male perspective. I just don't understand how this operates and functions. But when you're talking about dysfunctional people, then it's a little bit easier. You've been divorced for three years, you moved away to start new your husband has a wasn't big cheetah and your mother finally told you after having an affair with a woman for over six months. Your mother is employed by your ex husband as his accountant. Here's where the problem is right here. So he's got two beers to do very well in small town there. And my mother was a retired accountant when he and I met, and he fell in love with her and he hired her. Now here's a problem with the letter. When I say they fell in love, I mean it. There's a lot in that statement, ma'am. And I don't have the time to unpack it, but I'll just rearrange some stuff in the luggage. Whenever he told me, whenever we had a disagreement, the girl's mother would always tell her to consider his point of view. Then when the dude cheated, the lady wrote the letter, say, I think she knew it all along and only told me because my ten year old daughter saw him with this woman. So I'm assuming that she had the daughter before she married the man, because she refers to the daughter as my ten year old daughter. And then the daughter kept referencing daddy's friend at work. So you asked your mother and she spilled the tea. Our relationship has been the same since then, and she said it was because I divorced my husband. Her belief is I should have kept my family together no matter what. Now I think, ma'am, this is where you got a little bit going on. Maybe your mother tried to stay out of your business. Didn't have solid proof like the daughter didn't. She just saw him somewhere and you and your husband told her this is daddy's friend from work. That's why the daughter was referencing the woman as daddy's friend. Thank your mother's just trying to stay out of it. But I give you real school. All right. We'll have part two of Steve's response coming up at twenty three minutes after the hour of today's Strawberry Letters, subject my mother and my ex are besties. Will get back into it right after this. You're listening Steve Hardy Morning Show. All right, Come on, Steve, let's recap today's Strawberry letter. The subject my mother and my ex are besties. This woman's been divorced for three years from her husband, who was a big cheater on her. When she met her husband, they introduced him to her mother. Her mother fell in love with him, and the girl says, I mean fell in love with him. Like I said earlier, I think there's something behind that, but I don't have time to unpack that because you didn't mention that in the letter. Your daughter, who obviously you had before you married this man, made a reference one day to daddy's friend at work. You inquired to your mother about who daddy's friend was. Finally she spilled the tea. She didn't have to then, but she said, well, and I think your mother was trying to stay out of y'all's business because she didn't have solid proof that the man was cheating, but she had some inklings. So when you came to her, she told you she think the man is cheating. And then you all's relations and ship ain't been the same since, because you thought your mother should have told you right away, well, it ain't your mama's bien since, and I think that may have something to do with it. But then your mother says it's because you divorce your husband and her belief that you should have kept your family together no matter what. Now here's you say. Here's what you say the problem is? You say. The problem is the things your ex husband did for his girlfriend were the same things he did for me. So it wasn't the cheating that got me. It was a time he spent with her in the trip he took home. That's the cheating. See sisters, don't yeah, don't talk about he did the same thing for me. That's that's what cheating is. You seeing somebody? Why are you seeing somebody else? And what do adults do when they see each other? They spend time together. How did they spend time together? They go somewhere. So what you're sending a bit talking about this the time he's been with her in the trip, What was they supposed to do? Everybody don't have a fair at lunch in the backseat of the car. He got money, he gonna do something a little bit different. So don't talk about it's the same thing that got you. That's what cheating is, ma'am. You're just trying to find another reason to say you didn't keep the family together. But you don't have to. You don't want to stay. What to do because he cheated, that's all. Now it gets a little sticky. You came to your ass your mother to reconsider working for him, and she said that whatever we had going on should not affect her money. That's an interesting state man, but he gets even more interesting though. My own daughter doesn't talk to my ex right now. Now's our daughter, so I don't know when ya had a baby skip that. Don't talk to her my ex right now because she figured out whose daddy friend was. My mother called recently and says she's trying to get the family together for Thanksgiving. It she wants me there. Your mother is trying to repair the relationship, but she's stupid. So she said, your ex will be doing the turkey and she would cook everything. Now, now here is the thing. The a fab that the X had is probably over. He probably wants the best thing he ever had back. He don't went to the mother to get you back. So now the mother says she's trying to get the family together. Your ex is gonna be doing the turkey and she would cook everything else. How can my own mother be so ignorant and invite him to dinner because your mama ignorant? It's okay, some people have mama's that's ignorant. You got one. But now here's the danger I seeing this? Should I show up and cursing both out? Of course? Not? Why why I add energy to that? Why are you getting dressed to go over there to cut both of them out? First of all, if I were you, I would try to fix the relationship with my mother. That's what I would do. That's an important relationship. She did give you life. Now do it sound like she wrong in this case? Absolutely? Yeah yes. But now if your husband is not trying to get back with you, which I think the case is. Here is the spoiler alert. You said your husband fell in love with your mother, and I mean he fell in love them. Let me make a statement about me and ladies in case you want to know where you stay with the man. If you want to know where a man's heart is, the Holidays is where he is. If you want to know where a man's heart is, the Holidays is where he is. So he's where he loves the family, and he still loves hers. What you're saying, because he's over, he's going to be over at the mom's now. But Thanksgiving, Yeah, now you can take that one or two ways. I don't think you think your mama is seeing this man, but I do think your mother is attracted to his power. The power is money. Shoot, well, okay, he didn't provided her with a job She's told her you should have stayed with your family to hold your family together. Your mama old school, all right, to find out who really stuffed in there. Sports Talk with Junior coming up in forty six minutes after. Right after this, you're listening show time now for Junior and sports talk. What you got Junior? All right? Surely before we get to sports talk, I just gotta make an announcement for the foundation. If you in the Dallas Fort Worth area and you have somebody that needs help this Christmas with sickle cell, the entire family. I am going to take care of the family. Looking for ten families. So just right, just go to kears Hope k I E R. S h Ope dot org. That's kars Hope dot org and click on the button, fill out the information, and then Junior claud is gonna be coming to town. That's about all. Wait till November twelve. Yeah, he's gonna becoming to town for my people's Yeah, I'll try to help these people. You help my people anyway. I'm doing that. So I don't know if you know this, but I know somebody had I know John Gruden happy right now that Kyrie Irving is back in the news again. Take some of this heat off from me. You on Kyrie. Kyrie Irvin's official now that the Brooklyn Nets have said that he will not be playing until he meets the mandate for COVID nineteen in the state of New York. So that means not only were he just not playing in the home games no more, he ain't even playing on the road no more. They didn't they ain't playing him in a big bench. Now that's thirty three million. We're talking about un four hundred and thirty five thousand dollars a game, man, you know, I think that to me, Kyrie is Kyrie. He's gonna do what he want to do. And look, I'm tired of saying you can take the vaccine or not. But you're in the team sport, you're in a state that has a mandate, and you want to stick to your guards. You have no scientific proof that the vaccine is bad for you. You're dealing with online theories, folks. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm not fitting to blow my life. All I got to do is tell you this right here here, man. It makes four hundred and thirty five thousand dollars a game. I'm asking you, how many people do you know for four hundred and thirty five thousand dollars would not go take the shot? I don't know about four hundred and thirty five. I'm telling no, this is what I think. What do you think? Just let me hear on what you think? Kyrie. Family saying to him right now, boy, listen to me if he got any uncles or anybody. Yeah, listen to me. St started. I'm trying to tell you, man, I couldn't be related to it. Brother, Come in, man, let me talk to you for a minute. You're going to regret this move right here. You you can't do anything else to make this kind of money. Nothing. You gotta talent in the scale. Your ass ain't hosting no shows, You ain't funny, you ain't you ain't finished, be no model gonna do to him. I'll tell you, I'll tell you what not doing the shot gonna do. It's gonna get your ass broke, Kyrie, Kyrie need a wife, dog? Thank you. Coming up at the top of the hour will more of a s. Harvey Morning show right after this. You're listening to show, all right, So Steve, you have one more comment to make about about Kyrie refusing you know what, some people are copycasting, and I think he wants to be a martyr. I think he wants to find a cause to attach himself to, like Colin Caper. And what Colin Kaepernick done was absolutely correct. He took a knee for injustice. But Kyrie wants to be because you remember, he wasn't He didn't want to talk about the Games last year because he wanted to talk about what was happening over in the Middle East. You ain't got nothing to do with that, though, Yeah, you you bringing up ain't fit to change a damn thing in the Middle East. You ain't got a paper you can sign. They don't even know you, don't even know you over there. Dog, you sudn't have been talking about I'm worried about They ain't worried about you. Where about Middle America? We're about that. Go ahead of money, yeah, you know, And some people will say, well, money isn't everything, you know, but no, Well I tell you what something. I tell you money is not everything, but mess around and don't have no Yeah, then it is everything. Yeah, well I bet you'll be looking for yeah right now, all right, all right, so let's talk about a girl, La La. We've been knowing La La for a long long time. Um well, Laala broke her silence on her divorce from Carmelo Anthony. They were married for eleven years, filed for divorce back in June. As we know, Laala and Carmela shared a fourteen year old son named Cayenne. Lala said that her divorce was really really hard. Take a listen. I was bad because it was public. I was bad because there were other people involved. That was bad because there were allegations. It got bad, and you know, I'm not a person to ever call my business on social media. You know, so many times you do want to say, oh, you guys really want to know what happened. You want to hear from me, but you hold it in. It's like Ohl is doing good, she looked good on a Gramm. It's like, Na, that's hit me really hard. Oh yeah, d yeah, no. I felt. I felt for Laa because we've known for a long time. That was like a little baby, yeah yeah. Like she used to come on the radio after the in La You know, it's nineteen years old, just a kid with pink hair turned into a stunning week gorgeous, yeah, and a superstar really and um, she's really a kind person. I felt really bad for him because I like both of them. I really did, you know, I was pulling for family. But people don't know what's going on, and people think because you were a celebrity, and like, you know, La La looked good on the ground. She was going through some things, but it was public. You know. They they couldn't even fix their stuff because it was so public. If there was any any repairing to do, they couldn't do it because y'all was beating people up so bad in the public that the controlls is rough. Man. I felt sorry for and I felt I felt bad for him because this decision he made, you know, and like he's not a bad dude, man, he made a badass decision. Yeah, and he heard his wife. He hurt his fane. And Lalla says she doesn't think Steve that she'll ever get married again, that she could ever marry again. She just said she could not do it again. Oh well, that's gonna be hard because they come in, they come she's concentrating on her career, her son. You know, she's acting in La La. She said that people DM her. On the DM she said he'd be cutting in paste the same messages to her and her friends. Come on down. That's whacking, So you write, Steve, they are covered for Yeah, you know, but she's still young, and you know, you know you can say that now, but things may change because she believes in love, so you know, don't give a deserving of it. She's a great person, deserving of love. She was a ring this it. Oh wow, that's how you feel though after Yeah, you feel that those are real feelings, she said. A therapist told us to stop hiring that. All right, we'll have more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show coming up at twenty minutes after the hour. Right after this, you're listening to show.

Enjoy your birthday again, Carla, Thank you, Mama, a birthday, carl thank you, thank you for the million. I'm not gonna be light time. I'm just gonna thank you today for it. I'm a faith I'm gonna write it down so much more. People mated, manifested. Oh yeah, I'm talking about this morning oxid. If he got a billion dollars, he gives all a mean a piece and time me up here talking about he ain't enough. I just want to say thank you for you got a billion. None ain't enough. You got a billion? But y'alla summon. What is my obligation to you? None? But I want more key words none? Yeah, okay, let's get past that part. Though I can't. It's very generous. No problems. All right, here we go, guys. These are my gloser remarks today. I want to uh remind you all, uh that where you are now it's so temporary, and a lot of people get stuck in the where they are now, you know, listen to me. It's like, if you take an hour glass that has sand in it and you turn it upside down, Well, there's a fat piece on every hour glass, right, There's a fat piece at the top, and it's a fat piece at the bottom. There's this real skinny piece in the middle. And when you turn the hour glass upside down with the sand in it, it flows from top to bottom. And what and what that represents is all the sand that trickles down through the funnel and gets to the bottom. All of that is time that you spent, time that you had. That is the sand of the past. Now there's a lot more, hopefully a lot more sand at the top, right, But as you get older, that time lessons because as you get that sand coming down through the hour glass, the bottom feels up because your past becomes bigger and bigger, and more sand feels up your past. It's like, at sixty four, I do realize that I have spent more time on this earth than I have left. Probably, so the sand in the top of my hour glass is smaller than the sand that's in the bottom. But the sand that's in the bottom hour glass is my past. That little skinny piece in the middle where that sand is trickling through, that's all we have, folks. We just have that right there. It's called Now, there's nothing we can do with the sand that's trickled through the little skinny part of the hour glass and my creating the visual. Can you all see what I'm saying, Yes, there's nothing you can do about the sand, and at the bottom of that hour glass, that's your pass. The problem that most people do is they spend all their time discussing their past, and all it does, since that saying don't ever stop moving, all it does is lessen the amount of saying that you got left because you keep spending all your time talking about the saying that's in the bottom of the hour glass. And most people get stuck right there, taking their moments of now talking about their pass when they need to be doing something with whatever saying they got left in the top of that hour glass. Listen, y'all, don't lose patience in the process. Don't get so tired of what happened you own. You know I had a bad marriage, you know I broke up with soul and so you know I ain't in love him. Oh he did me wrong. All that's in your pass? Yeah, no idea what God has for you with that saying up in the top of that hour glass. This could that's saying in the top of that hour glass, that's coming through that little funnel part can be the best years of your life if you stop focusing on that damn saying at the bottom. I shall hope. I'm giving you the visual Are you are getting the visuals that I'm trying to give you? Look, man, whatever time you got left could be the best time of your life if you only stop talking about the saying that's gone through the hour glass already, you ain't doing nothing for yourself right there. You're accomplishing nothing. There is absolutely nothing you can do about your pass. Stop beating yourself up over the pass. I married the wrong person, I got a divorce, I flunked out of school, I was on drugs so long, I got locked up. My girl left me, my man left me, my chip origian ain't talking to me? What what? So? Can I tell you something? Everybody got a pass. Everybody got one, and stop letting people define you because of your pass. There are people who are set up in your life to only talk about the saying at the bottom of your hour glass. I remember that time you did that on it. Y'all still get people every now and then. I don't know why he thinks he left his first wife. Dog. Wait a minute, you know how long ago that was what you're talking to me about that phone. God had moved me past that, God had moved them past that. Everybody better off. But whatever you feel about me, you're not gonna hold me to my past. Oh no, no, no, no, no no no. I'm looking to my heavenly father for my future, for everything he has for me right now. Give us this day our daily bread. I'm looking for right now and preparing doing whatever I can right now today to make better decisions. So much tomorrow be better than my past. I invite you to do the same. Quit Where about that sand in the bottom of your hour glass? It's gone through the whole in all of this. Thank you, have a nice day. God willing to see y'all tomorrow. And I'm being ignorant for all.
