Jake Jackson (901) 4/17/2024 5:59 AM

I agree I find her to be correct. I also think we should spend more time outside.

Jake Jackson (901) 4/05/2024 6:08 AM

Practicing gratitude keeps you centered and motivated because it shows you everything you have that other people don't. When you look at all the possessions and memoirs you have compared to others I'd bet you'd take your things right back.
