Transcript
This is the Daily note from jamesabrown.net I was visiting my mother last week.
Speaker A:She was watching YouTube while creating beaded earring after beaded earring.
Speaker A:And I, I was just there.
Speaker A:A few minutes later, she said, what are you doing?
Speaker A:Put that thing down.
Speaker A:That thing was my iPhone.
Speaker A:And as she put her hands back to work, I realized a few things.
Speaker A:She was right.
Speaker A:She deserved a few moments of mine.
Speaker A:And we have thieves in our pockets.
Speaker A:These phones, these pickpockets, they have no codges.
Speaker A:And we do it to ourselves.
Speaker A:But the real theft happens in moments like these.
Speaker A:With my mother, I don't know how much longer I'll have her.
Speaker A:But for those years, and hopefully decades to come, I'll do my best to keep that thief at bay as much as I can.
Speaker A:On that note, I'm James A.
Speaker A:Brown, and as always, be well.
